FAQ
What is payroll software?

In the UK, if you want to employ someone, or if you’re a limited company director and you want to pay yourself a salary, you need to deduct National Insurance Contributions and pay Income Tax. To do this, you need to run payroll. You can do this by paying a payroll provider to do it for you or by doing it yourself using payroll software like ANNA.

ANNA Payroll is an online payroll software for UK small businesses. It’s simple to set up and use for company directors who run single payroll or for businesses with up to 5 employees.

How does ANNA Payroll work?

You can set up ANNA Payroll as a new employer or switch from your existing software to ANNA. After providing your employer reference details, you can add employees or directors with their starter declaration in ANNA and start filing payslips for them straight away.

Tax and NIC are calculated automatically for each payslip, so you can review any taxes before submitting your payslip. ANNA’s Payroll software is HMRC-recognised and payslips are filed directly to HMRC.

Is ANNA Payroll suitable for my business?

ANNA’s payroll software is suitable for small businesses and sole traders in the UK who want to file payroll online for up to 5 employees. It’s simple to use and easy to set up.

How does payroll software help businesses?

When you want to pay an employee or a director, you need to run payroll. You can do this by paying a payroll provider to do it for you or by doing it yourself using payroll software like ANNA. Large businesses often use a payroll provider, but this is rarely affordable for small businesses, who tend to use payroll software.

Payroll software takes the stress out of calculating payroll, filing it with HMRC and paying it.

How does payroll software help employees?

Payroll software simplifies the payroll process, so it makes sure that employees are paid accurately, on time and are complying with employment law. You will get a digital payslip for your employees, so they know how much they’ve been paid, as well as how much income tax they’ve paid and what National Insurance Contributions they’ve made. It will also show them any pension contributions.

How much does payroll software cost?

The cost of payroll software depends on the size of the business and how many employees are involved. ANNA’s Payroll software is just £3 for the first 3 months, which we think is incredible value.
