How much does Bookkeeping & payroll cost? (2026 price guide)
Basic monthly bookkeeping for a small business typically costs £80-£200, rising to £250-£500 for busier accounts with higher transaction volumes or multiple bank accounts. Payroll processing is usually charged per payslip, often £4-£10 per employee per month, with a minimum monthly fee of around £25-£40 for very small teams.
Price depends mainly on transaction volume, the number of employees on payroll, how often reports are needed, and whether software like Xero or QuickBooks is already set up. Firms handling pension auto-enrolment or CIS payments for contractors typically charge a bit more due to the extra compliance involved.
Bundling bookkeeping and payroll with the same provider, and using cloud accounting software, often works out cheaper than paying for each service separately.
