FAQs — Payroll Software for CPAs

Licensing, Renewal Pricing & Multi-User Setup

Because ezPaycheck uses flat-rate annual software licensing rather than per-employee monthly billing, it offers an extremely cost-effective model for high-volume client management:

ezPaycheck 2026 Software License:

First License: $169 (covers 2026 payroll processing).
Additional Workstation License: $50 per extra license.
Annual Renewals: Software licenses are renewed annually to ensure compliance with updated federal, state, and local tax tables and tax forms (e.g., a 2027 license will be required to process 2027 payroll).
Pricing Directory: View complete licensing pricing at: ezPaycheck features and pricing

Unlimited Company & Client Accounts

ezPaycheck allows you to create and manage unlimited company accounts and unlimited employees on the same computer or network at no extra cost. There are zero per-client or per-employee monthly add-on fees.

Employee Capacity per Company

ezPaycheck utilizes a robust Microsoft Access Database engine. While the software can technically support up to 1,000 employees per account, we generally recommend up to 500 active employees per company file to ensure optimal processing speed and database performance.

Federal, State, and Local Tax Functionality

Calculations: ezPaycheck automatically calculates Federal Income Tax, Social Security, Medicare, State Income Tax, SUI/SDI, and customizable local taxes.
