Pricing questions
Is there a setup fee or a contract?+
No setup fee and no annual contract. Plans are month-to-month, so you can change or cancel anytime — and you can see every price right here without booking a call.
Which states are included on each paid plan?+
All of them. Every paid plan includes the federal WH-347 (which covers all 50 states and DC for federally-funded work) and every state form we support — NY MPWR, NJ Wage Hub + MW-562, CA eCPR, WA L&I, IL CTP, Pennsylvania LLC-25, Massachusetts DLS, Connecticut WWS-CP1, Minnesota DLI, Nevada, and Rhode Island — plus AASHTOWare Project for state DOT jobs. Plans differ only on how many reports you file a month, not on which states you can file.
What counts as a report?+
One finished filing — one job, one form, one pay period. A WH-347 and a NY MPWR for the same week count as two, because they’re two separate filings.
Do you guarantee my filing is compliant?+
No. PayrollPenguin is a reporting and formatting tool — not a compliance guarantor or a legal advisor. We put your own numbers into each official form exactly to spec and flag anything that looks off. You sign it under your own name, and the office that awarded your job reviews it. We never file it for you behind the scenes.
Can I start without paying?+
Yes. The Free plan covers the federal WH-347, so you can run a real report from start to finish — bring in your payroll, look over what we flag, sign, and export — before you pay a cent. Upgrade when you need a state form or more reports each month.
I handle filings for several clients — which plan?+
Firm is built for bookkeepers and CPA firms: every client’s certified payroll under one login with consolidated billing, 300 reports a month (then $2 each), and every state included. Filing only for your own company? Pick Starter, Pro, or Scale by your monthly volume.
