Everything you need to know before getting started.
Getting Started
Do I need any accounting knowledge to use PayslipPoint?+
Not at all. If you know your staff's salary and allowances, PayslipPoint handles everything else — including PAYE tax and pension calculations automatically. No accounting degree, no HR experience needed. If you can fill a form, you can generate a payslip.
How is PayslipPoint different from just using Word or Excel?+
Word and Excel payslips take 20–40 minutes per staff member, look unprofessional, and are often rejected by banks. PayslipPoint generates a clean, properly formatted PDF in under 2 minutes — with automatic tax calculations, your company logo, and a layout banks and embassies actually accept. It also saves every payslip automatically so you never lose records.
Does it work on my phone, or do I need a computer?+
PayslipPoint works on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. Many of our users run their entire payroll from their Android or iPhone. No app download required — just open the website in your browser and you're ready to go.
Can I use it for domestic staff like house helps, drivers, or security guards?+
Absolutely. PayslipPoint works for any paid employee regardless of their role or industry — domestic staff, shop assistants, factory workers, drivers, security guards, restaurant staff, and more. If someone receives a salary or wage, you can generate their payslip on PayslipPoint.
Payslip Quality & Acceptance
Will banks and embassies accept these payslips?+
Yes. Our payslips follow standard formats with all required fields — company name and address, employee details, earnings breakdown, deductions, and net pay. They are accepted by Nigerian banks (GTBank, Access, Zenith, UBA and others), landlords, and visa offices across Africa. Staff have successfully used PayslipPoint payslips for salary accounts, loans, and visa applications.
Can I edit or redo a payslip after generating it?+
Yes. You can go back, update the details, and regenerate a payslip at any time. Employee profiles are saved permanently so you don't have to re-enter information every month — just update the figures that changed and generate a new version.
Can my staff access or download their own payslips?+
Yes — on Starter and Business plans, staff can access their own payslips via a self-service portal link. You share the link once and they can download their own payslips anytime without needing to ask you. This saves time for both you and your staff.
Billing & Plans
How do I pay — and can I cancel anytime?+
We accept all major payment methods via Paystack — debit/credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Verve), bank transfer, USSD, and mobile money. You can cancel your subscription at any time with no penalty and no questions asked. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
What happens to my payslips if I stop paying or downgrade?+
Your data is never deleted. If you cancel or downgrade, your account moves to the Free plan and you retain access to your last 3 months of payslip history. All previously downloaded PDFs remain valid — they don't expire. You can also re-subscribe at any time to regain full access to your complete history.
What if I run businesses in more than one African country?+
The Business plan supports unlimited company profiles, so you can manage payroll for multiple businesses across multiple African countries — each with their own currency, logo, and employee list — all from one single account. Starter plan supports up to 4 company profiles and Free supports 2.
Privacy & Security
Is my data safe? Who can see my staff's salary information?+
Your data is private and belongs to you alone. Salary information is encrypted and stored securely — no one outside your account can access it. We never share, sell, or use your staff data for any purpose. Payments are processed through Paystack which uses bank-level SSL encryption. You can also delete your data at any time from your account settings.
What currencies does PayslipPoint support?+
PayslipPoint supports 23 currencies including all major African currencies — Nigerian Naira (₦), Ghanaian Cedi (GH₵), Kenyan Shilling (KSh), South African Rand (R), Rwandan Franc, CFA Franc, Ugandan Shilling, Ethiopian Birr, and more — plus global currencies including USD, GBP, EUR, and AED. All currencies are available on every plan at no extra cost.
