How much does payroll cost for a small business?

Director-only payroll is included in Lumi's Lite package at £180 a month. Teams of up to five are covered by Core at £250, and larger or more complex payrolls by Complete at £350. That covers PAYE calculations, RTI submissions to HMRC, pension auto-enrolment and payslips — there's no per-payslip charge.

What's Included

Your whole payroll, run for you

From a single director to a growing team, we handle every part of getting people paid correctly and on time, and keep you on the right side of HMRC and The Pensions Regulator.

PAYE & RTI submissions

We calculate tax and National Insurance on every pay run and file the Real Time Information to HMRC on or before payday, keeping you compliant and penalty-free.

HMRC

Payslips, P60s & forms

Clear payslips for every employee each cycle, plus the year-end and leaver paperwork (P60s, P45s and P11Ds where relevant) produced and filed for you.

Every Cycle

Auto-enrolment pensions

We assess your team, enrol who qualifies into your workplace pension, manage contributions, and handle the three-yearly re-enrolment and declaration of compliance.

Legal Duty

Statutory & holiday pay

Statutory sick, maternity and paternity pay, holiday pay and the rest, all calculated correctly so your team is paid exactly what they're entitled to, and you reclaim from HMRC where you can.

Accuracy

Starters, leavers & changes

New starters, leavers, pay rises and hours changes, all handled each cycle without you chasing. We keep your payroll current as your team grows and changes.

Always Current

Director & sector payroll

Tax-efficient director's salaries set at the right level alongside dividends (see Self Assessment), plus CIS payments for construction and tronc for hospitality.

Across the Packages

Payroll that scales with your team

Every package includes payroll; the difference is how many people. Director's payroll on Lite, a small team on Core, and larger or more complex payrolls on Complete. Auto-enrolment pensions are handled at every level.

All packages include a Xero subscription (our recommended software) unless specifically agreed otherwise. View full package details →

Worth knowing

Payroll runs straight from the same Xero we keep your books in, so wages, pensions and PAYE all reconcile automatically. No double entry, and no surprises at year-end.

Why Lumi

A Chartered Accountant in your corner

You deal directly with a qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountant, not a call centre or a different junior every year.

ICAEW Chartered & qualified

Your accounts are prepared and reviewed by a Chartered Accountant — the gold standard for technical accuracy and trust.

Plain English, always

We explain what your numbers mean and what to do about them, without the jargon or the acronym-soup, and without pretending it's more complicated than it is.

Deadlines never missed

We work to your dates well in advance and chase what we need from you, so late-filing penalties simply don't happen.

Fixed monthly fee

Your accounts and tax are wrapped into one transparent monthly fee. We don't bill by the hour, and there's no invoice shock at year-end.

Questions

Payroll, explained

If you take a salary, yes. Even a one-person company usually runs a payroll to pay the director a tax-efficient salary and file the required Real Time Information with HMRC. We set it up and run it for you so it's done correctly. Book a call and we'll sort it.
RTI is HMRC's system that requires employers to report pay, tax and National Insurance every time they pay staff — on or before payday — rather than just at year-end. We prepare and file every submission for you, on time.
Every employer must automatically enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and pay employer contributions. We assess your team each pay run, enrol who qualifies, manage contributions and handle the three-yearly re-enrolment and declarations of compliance.
Whatever suits your business: weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly. We run it to your schedule and make sure everyone is paid the right amount on time, with payslips issued each cycle.
Yes. We handle CIS subcontractor deductions for construction businesses and tronc (tips) schemes for hospitality, alongside standard payroll, so everything sits together and reconciles correctly.
