RTI Full Payment Submission

Every pay run files an FPS to HMRC at the moment of payment, with employer PAYE reference, tax codes, NI category letters and YTD figures populated automatically.

Auto PAYE, NIC & student loans

Tax codes (cumulative, week-1, BR, NT, K-codes), all NIC categories, postgraduate and Plan 1/2/4/5 student loans — all calculated correctly, every period, every employee.

Branded payslips

Generate PDF payslips per employee with your company logo. Payslips are emailed automatically or downloaded for in-person distribution.

P60s, P11Ds and EPS

Year-end P60s and P11Ds for benefits in kind are produced from the same payroll history. Submit Employer Payment Summaries when you have nothing to pay or want to claim Employment Allowance.

Pension auto-enrolment

Set up your workplace pension scheme, calculate qualifying earnings, deduct employee and employer contributions, and produce the contribution file for your provider.

HMRC-aligned tax periods

AccLedger uses the correct HMRC tax-month numbering (April = 1 through March = 12) so your submissions and balances always match HMRC's view.

Set up employees once, pay them every month

Add employees with their tax code, NI category, starter declaration, and student loan plan. AccLedger applies HMRC tax-code uplifts automatically when the new tax year starts.

  • New starter (P45) and existing-employee onboarding flows
  • Director NIC method (cumulative or alternative) selectable per director
  • Tax code uplifts applied at the start of each tax year
  • Off-payroll worker (IR35) flag handled correctly

Calculate, finalise, submit — three buttons

Each pay period, AccLedger pulls your employees, calculates gross-to-net for everyone, lets you review, and finalises the period. One more click sends the FPS to HMRC.

  • Bulk-calculate all employees in one click
  • Edit individual payslips before finalising — overtime, bonuses, deductions
  • Lock the period after finalising so figures cannot drift
  • Submit the FPS directly to the HMRC PAYE endpoint

Connected to your bookkeeping, not a side system

Most payroll tools require you to copy figures back into your accounts. In AccLedger, every pay run posts the right journals automatically — net salary to the bank, PAYE/NI to the control account, employer NI as an expense.

  • Auto-journals: net salary, PAYE/NI control, pension control, employer NI
  • PAYE/NI control account reconciles against HMRC payments
  • Employment Allowance applied automatically when claimed
  • Pension control account reconciles against your provider

Year-end without the year-end pain

When the tax year closes, AccLedger generates each employee's P60 and any required P11Ds from the running payroll record. No re-keying, no spreadsheet reconciliations.

  • P60 generated per employee in PDF
  • P11D for taxable benefits in kind
  • Final FPS / EPS markers handled automatically
  • Full year-end checklist surfaced in the dashboard

Frequently asked questions

Is AccLedger HMRC-recognised for RTI?
Yes. AccLedger submits Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries through HMRC's recognised PAYE endpoint with the required fraud-prevention headers and OAuth2 authentication.
How many employees can I run payroll for?
The Limited Company plan at £10 per month includes payroll for up to 5 employees. Larger headcounts can be added on a per-employee basis — get in touch for a quote.
Does AccLedger handle directors' NIC?
Yes. Both the cumulative method (recommended for most directors) and the alternative method (recalculated cumulatively only at year end or on leaving) are supported, configurable per director.
What about pension auto-enrolment?
AccLedger calculates qualifying earnings, applies the correct employee and employer contribution percentages, deducts the contributions from net pay, and produces the periodic contribution file ready to upload to your pension provider.
Can I produce P60s and P11Ds at year end?
Yes. P60s are produced for every employee on the payroll at year end. P11Ds covering taxable benefits in kind (company cars, fuel, private medical, etc.) are also generated and ready to file.
Does the payroll integrate with my accounting?
Tightly. Each pay run automatically posts the journals: net salary against your bank account, PAYE/NI to the PAYE/NI control liability account, pension contributions to the pension control liability, and employer NI to expense. Your trial balance always reconciles to HMRC and your pension provider.
Can my accountant run payroll on my behalf?
Yes. Invite your accountant to your AccLedger account at no extra cost. Accountancy firms with the partner programme can run payroll for many client companies from one dashboard.
Is the off-payroll working (IR35) regime handled?
Yes. Workers flagged as off-payroll have the deemed-employment treatment applied — PAYE and NIC deducted from the deemed direct payment, with the correct treatment in the FPS.
