Where is the company?

Exact number. We price hours against this, so a guess within five is fine.

Count everyone whose week includes payroll, onboarding or the HR system. Fractions are fine.

Are you planning to add someone to HR or payroll in the next 12 months?

Answer it and the retainer is priced against that hire too. Neither answer changes the recommendation.

Base salary, before taxes and benefits. Every hour on your result is priced from this.

On the benchmark: $39.61 an hour, loaded.People Street assumption

Count every state with at least one employee, including remote hires.

Count a state only where the program collects today. The list is under the field.

0 of your 1 states, estimated. 14 of the 51 US jurisdictions run a program that collects today.People Street assumption

Answer it and we price your own leave programs instead of an estimate.

Count only the states where the local tax has its own account and return. The list below is that list.

0 of your 1 states, estimated. 13 of the 51 US jurisdictions charge a local payroll tax with its own account.People Street assumption

Answer it and we price the local filings you actually run instead of an estimate.

States where a local payroll tax means its own account

Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Oregon, Alabama, Colorado, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Washington

Maryland and Indiana are not on this list. Their county tax is withheld on the state return, so we charge no separate hours for it.

Does your platform register and file in new states for you?

This changes the hours per state, and nothing else.

How often does payroll need a correction after it runs?

Corrections you issued after the payroll was transmitted. Leave out scheduled final pay and commission runs: a final check on a legal deadline is not an error. Skip it and we estimate from your ratings.

With this and your software bill, the headline is one figure instead of a range.

How accurate is the employee data in your system right now?

Count the HRIS, payroll, benefits, an ATS, a spreadsheet nobody else touches. Skip it and we run the reconciling line at our own baseline.

Answer it and the reconciling line runs on your own number instead of ours.

How consistently do onboarding and employee changes run?
How much do you trust the numbers when you pull people reporting?

From the invoice, if you have it open. Leave it blank and we use a labeled benchmark.

With this and your corrections count, the headline is one figure instead of a range.
