Payroll software for small businesses
Crunch offers one of the industry's leading accounting and payroll software, enabling directors to maximise tax efficiency at no cost. Our "Pay Yourself" feature displays real-time profits, recommends a tax-efficient salary, provides pay slips, indicates available dividends, and generates necessary documentation, including dividend certificates and board meeting minutes.

HMRC approved payroll services
Working with umbrella companies and IR35 as a contractor can be difficult. Occasionally, you might be paid via an umbrella company rather than directly to your limited company due to IR35 or client requests. With Crunch's Limited Company Premium package, effortlessly switch between umbrella services and direct payments. We handle tax deductions, HMRC filings, and ensure smooth payroll under the umbrella.
Let our experts make payroll easy for you. Contact Crunch for streamlined solutions.

If you’re looking to pay a salary higher than the National Insurance threshold, you’ll need to pay employee’s National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and your company will need to pay employer’s NICs. There may be valid reasons for paying a higher salary, such as to qualify for increased benefits (i.e. higher maternity pay). In addition:
- You may want to run a payroll if you are working as an IR35 contractor through your limited company - this service is included on our Premium and Small Business packages.
- If your company has two or more directors and you all take a salary over the NI threshold, or if you have other employees, you may be eligible for the Employment Allowance (The Employment Allowance gives a company up to £4,000 relief towards their Employer NIC bill for the 2020/21 tax year). There are rules which must be followed, particularly if you work in the public sector or are a freelancer or a contractor, please contact us to see if you’re eligible to apply
- You may wish to pay yourself a higher salary to help with a mortgage application. If you believe this applies to you, don't forget that it's not always necessary and our Crunch Mortgages advisors can help you understand what you need to apply for a mortgage when you're self-employed
- Alternatively, you might just want to take a little more home each month. You can find out why we usually recommend a salary set at the National Insurance threshold in our article “How much should I take as a salary from my limited company?”.
