Is your payroll invoice in range?
Type three numbers you already know and see where your payroll cost lands against companies your size. The full line‑by‑line review of your actual invoice is free.
Three numbers now. The full review after.
Headcount, pay frequency, last month’s total payroll fees. The dot shows where you land.
Send your invoice. I benchmark every fee line against what a company your size and frequency should pay.
Either your pricing is fair and I tell you so, or you are overpaying and I recommend a provider that prices your situation better.
I read the lines nobody else reads.
Every payroll invoice has a few lines doing the quiet damage. The per‑employee and per‑run fees are where annual increases compound; most owners sign at a fair rate and are 30–40% above it four years later without ever seeing a notice.
Delivery, year‑end, and W‑2 charges hide in the fourth quarter. Add‑on modules bill every month whether your team opens them or not. The base fee tells me in one glance whether you are on current pricing or a legacy contract.
The review walks your invoice line by line against what companies your size and pay frequency actually pay, and ends in one number: what you should be paying.
How I’m paid
Payroll providers pay referral fees for new clients. When the review shows a switch saves you money and you make it, the new provider pays me. That is why the review is free.
You get a straight answer either way. If your pricing is fair, you will know it. If you are overpaying, you will see exactly by how much, and which provider prices your situation better.

I spent close to seven years at two national payroll providers you would recognize, on the side of the table that sets your price. I personally set up or transitioned several hundred companies’ payroll, worked with thousands of small‑business accounts, and earned President’s Club honors multiple times. I know exactly how these invoices are built, and where the room is.
Today I’m a licensed business broker in Arizona, and Payroll Review HQ started there. While packaging businesses for sale, I kept finding owners who had been overpaying for payroll for years. That overpayment stings twice: it drains cash every month, and because buyers price a business on its earnings, it quietly lowers what the business is worth on the day you sell. Advising owners to fix their payroll fees became such a regular part of my brokerage work that I turned it into its own practice.
My full work history is on LinkedIn.
