Overview

Payroller is a cloud-based payroll platform designed for small businesses and sole traders who need to run payroll without the complexity of larger systems. Originally developed in Australia and expanded to Ireland, Payroller provides a simplified payroll experience covering employee pay calculations, payslip generation, and payroll reporting. For the Irish market, Payroller supports PAYE, PRSI, and USC calculations and integrates with Revenue's PAYE Modernisation system for real-time payroll reporting. The platform is designed for business owners who process payroll themselves without an accountant or payroll specialist - the interface is intentionally simple, with guided workflows for adding employees, processing pay runs, and submitting to Revenue. Payroller is cloud-based with mobile app access, making it accessible for sole traders and micro-businesses. Pricing is positioned at the lower end of the Irish payroll market.

Editor's verdict on Payroller

stamped 2026-06-08

Payroller is a newer cloud payroll platform targeting Irish and Australian small businesses. For Irish businesses, verify that it is fully compliant with PAYE Modernisation, auto-enrolment, and ERR requirements before adopting - the established Irish desktop products (BrightPay, Thesaurus, Collsoft) have a longer compliance track record in the Irish market. Worth monitoring as the product matures. Skip unless you're a sole trader or micro-business who values interface simplicity over Irish compliance depth - most 5+ employee Irish businesses are better served by BrightPay or Thesaurus. As of 2026, Payroller does not have an Irish entity or PAYE-compliant product. Not recommended for Irish employers.
