Everything Jamaica payroll software should do

Automatic PAYE calculation

Income tax computed using TAJ rates and thresholds for every employee. The 2026 tax year rates are pre-loaded — no manual entry required.

NIS, NHT & Education Tax

All three statutory contributions calculated and split between employer and employee portions. Rates updated when the Ministry of Finance changes them.

Compliant payslips

Professional payslips showing gross pay, all deductions, and net pay — formatted to meet Jamaican employer requirements. Employees access them through a self-service portal.

Statutory filing reports

SO1, P24, and remittance schedules generated in TAJ-accepted formats. No spreadsheet wrangling before your monthly filings.

Bank payment files

Export payroll payment files for NCB, JN Bank, Scotiabank, Sagicor Bank, and FirstCaribbean. Pay all employees in one batch upload.

Leave & HR management

Track vacation, sick leave, and statutory leave against company policy. Payroll integrates leave balances automatically into each pay run.

Multi-employee support

From 1 employee to 500+. Add employees, manage roles, set pay frequencies, and run payroll for your whole team in a single workflow.

Audit trail & history

Every payroll run is logged with timestamps. Export historical records in formats accepted by TAJ for audits and compliance reviews.

Why Payroll Jamaica beats generic payroll software

Generic software makes you do the Jamaica work

Sage, QuickBooks, and other generic payroll tools require you to manually configure Jamaican tax brackets, NIS rates, NHT contribution schedules, and Education Tax rates. When rates change, you update them. When you make an error, your employees get incorrect payslips.

Payroll Jamaica handles Jamaica compliance automatically

Every Jamaica-specific rule is built into the platform. PAYE brackets, NIS contribution ceilings, NHT rates, Education Tax thresholds — all pre-configured and automatically updated when the Ministry of Finance announces changes.

Local support that understands Jamaica payroll

When you call Sage or QuickBooks about a Jamaica payroll question, you get a general support agent reading from a script. With Payroll Jamaica, you get support that understands TAJ, the NIS Act, and NHT regulations.

What is payroll software and do I need it in Jamaica?

Payroll software automates the calculation of employee wages and statutory deductions. In Jamaica, every employer must deduct PAYE (income tax), NIS (National Insurance Scheme contributions), NHT (National Housing Trust contributions), and Education Tax from employee wages and remit these to Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) on a monthly schedule. Payroll software eliminates manual calculation errors and ensures your filings are accurate and on time.

How does Payroll Jamaica calculate PAYE in 2026?

Payroll Jamaica uses the official TAJ PAYE tables and the current income tax threshold (J$1,902,360 for 2026) to calculate PAYE for each employee. Income above the threshold is taxed at 25%, with income above J$6,000,000 taxed at 30%. The software handles statutory deductions (NIS, NHT) before calculating taxable income, matching the correct TAJ methodology. Rates are updated in the system when the Ministry of Finance announces changes.

Is Payroll Jamaica software cloud-based?

Yes. Payroll Jamaica is fully cloud-based — access it from any device, anywhere in Jamaica or internationally. Your data is securely stored and backed up. No software installation required. Employees access their payslips through a self-service portal without needing to contact HR.
