-
Paycor displays multiple plan tiers for small businesses: e.g., Basic, Essential, Complete, and HCM.
-
For companies with fewer than 50 employees, pricing is explicitly shown:
-
Basic: $99/month + $5 per employee/month
-
Essential: $149/month + $6 per employee/month
-
Complete: $199/month + $7 per employee/month
-
HCM (full suite): $199/month + $12 per employee/month
-
-
They also publish “overage fees” for each employee beyond plan limits: e.g., Basic plan unit rate $10 per extra employee, etc.
-
For mid-market (50-1000+ employees) and larger orgs, Paycor offers custom quotes rather than fixed public pricing.
| Plan Tier (for <50 employees) | Monthly Base Fee | Per Employee Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ~$99 | ~$5 | Payroll & tax service, standard features. |
| Essential | ~$149 | ~$6 | Adds onboarding, time-off tools, HR support. |
| Complete | ~$199 | ~$7 | More advanced HR, analytics, compensation planning. |
| HCM (Full Suite) | ~$199 | ~$12 | All modules: HR + payroll + talent + etc. |
🧮 My Estimate & Notes
-
For a small business (say 10 employees), using the Basic plan would cost roughly: $99 + (10 × $5) = ~$149 per month.
-
If you include many features (Complete or HCM) and more employees, the per-employee cost of ~$7-$12 adds up quickly.
-
Setup or onboarding may include extra one-time fees (not always publicly listed). For example, a PDF proposal showed a client paying ~$4,450 for one time fees for 107 employees.
-
For larger companies (50+ or 100+ employees), the pricing becomes custom, so expect negotiations, possible volume discounts, etc.
