Paycor is a business tax and workforce management software that helps companies streamline payroll, tax filing, and compliance while also supporting broader HR functions. It is designed to simplify complex processes such as benefits administration,...
-
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.
