How We Charge

Payroll Outsourcing Cost — Pay As You Go

Our cloud technology platform allows DNA to charge a fee per payslip per pay period – monthly, weekly or bi-weekly. This fee per payslip is influenced by the size of the payroll. The more payslips you have the smaller the fee per payslip, i.e. a volumes-based discount applies. You only pay for the number of payslips we process.

Minimum Fee

DNA charges a minimum fee of R5,500 for South African payrolls and R7,500 minimum fee for payrolls outside of South Africa. This fee covers the first 40 employees, and a fee per payslip is charged for additional payslips above 40 employees.

Implementation Cost

A once-off implementation fee is charged to convert your business to our technology platform. This includes the technical payroll parameter set-up and design, year-to-date take-on from your current payroll and parallel run. DNA quotes a fixed implementation fee and therefore takes the risk of any over-runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is outsourcing payroll?
Payroll outsourcing is the practice of hiring a third-party company to handle all aspects of payroll processing, including calculating wages, withholding taxes, distributing payments, and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
What are the cons of outsourcing payroll?
While outsourcing payroll has many benefits, potential concerns include less direct control over payroll processes and the need to share sensitive employee data. However, with a trusted partner like DNA Outsourcing, these concerns are mitigated through transparent processes and robust data security measures.
How much does outsourcing payroll cost?
DNA offers competitive pay-as-you-go pricing starting from R75 per payslip per month. The cost depends on the number of employees and pay frequency. Use our instant calculator above to get a quick estimate for your business.
What is the difference between insourcing and outsourcing payroll?
Insourcing means managing payroll internally with your own staff and software, while outsourcing means contracting a specialist provider like DNA to handle all payroll functions. Outsourcing eliminates the need for dedicated payroll staff, software licenses, and IT infrastructure.
Why should I consider outsourcing payroll?
Outsourcing payroll saves time, reduces errors, ensures compliance with ever-changing legislation, and allows you to focus on core business activities. It also eliminates the cost of payroll software, training, and dedicated payroll staff.

DNA uses state-of-the-art cloud technology with enterprise-grade security, including encryption, secure access controls, and regular backups. We are fully POPIA compliant and take data protection extremely seriously.
Can I customize the payroll services I outsource?
