Pricing

Last updated on Sep 19, 2026

Moonworkers charges on a pay-per-payslip basis with no monthly base fee. There are four separate pricing structures depending on how you use the product.


Employer plan


The employer plan is for businesses running payroll for their own employees directly at payroll.moonworkers.co.uk.


1 employee: £6.49 per month

2 to 19 employees: £24.49 per month (flat rate)

20 to 50 employees: £24.49 + £1.49 per employee above 19

51 to 150 employees: £39.49 + £1.29 per employee above 50

151 or more employees: £69.49 + £0.99 per employee above 150


All tiers include RTI submissions, auto-enrolment, and all statutory payment types. There is no separate charge for HMRC submissions.


Accountant plan


The accountant plan is for payroll bureaus and accountants running payroll for multiple client employers. Pricing is per payslip per month, with volume tiers:


Up to 100 payslips: £1.69 per payslip

101 to 200 payslips: £1.49 per payslip

201 to 500 payslips: £1.29 per payslip

501 to 1,000 payslips: £0.99 per payslip

1,001 to 5,000 payslips: £0.69 per payslip

5,001 or more payslips: £0.49 per payslip


Instant Payslip


Instant Payslip is a one-off payslip generator with no subscription. Each payslip costs £3.99 + VAT. No account is required. The generator is available at online-payslips.moonworkers.co.uk/generator.


Payroll API


The API is priced per payslip, on volume bands, not per employee. Every payslip produced in a calendar month counts, so a weekly payroll counts four or five payslips per employee per month.


Up to 100 payslips: £1.69 per payslip

101 to 200 payslips: £1.49 per payslip

201 to 500 payslips: £1.29 per payslip

501 to 1,000 payslips: £0.99 per payslip

1,001 to 5,000 payslips: £0.69 per payslip

5,001 to 10,000 payslips: £0.49 per payslip

10,001 to 12,500 payslips: £0.38 per payslip

12,501 to 15,000 payslips: £0.30 per payslip

15,001 to 50,000 payslips: £0.229 per payslip

50,001 to 100,000 payslips: £0.18 per payslip

Above 100,000 payslips: on application


There is no minimum commitment and no seat licence. The sandbox is free and unlimited, and you are billed only once you submit real payroll. A live estimator is at moonworkers.co.uk/api. See "Payroll API pricing: per payslip, not per employee" for how payslips are counted.
