Start paying your employees

A small business with 2 employees
You are a business that’s just starting payroll, and you would like MassTax to setup and run your payroll each month. You decide that you would like to pay your two new employees twice a month (semi-monthly). You decide, based on Gusto’s products that you only need Gusto’s simple plan. Your fee would be as follows:
Gusto Base Fee (per month): $40 + $6 per employee = $52
MassTax one-time setup fee: $125
MassTax monthly per pay-period fee: $150 (two pay periods per month)
Your first month invoice would be $327 (base fee, plus setup fee, plus per pay-period fee)
You would then be billed $202 per month thereafter, plus $6 per any additional employees you add in the future.
Migrating to our services
You already have payroll but would like to have MassTax take over and manage your payroll. Using the same scenario from above, your fee would be the same $327 initial fee (the $125 migration fee, plus base fee, plus the per pay-period fee).
Do-it-yourself Payroll
If you feel confident that you can setup and manage your own payroll, just head on over and choose the Gusto product that best suits your needs!
Please note: with DIY payroll, MassTax bills $125 per hour to assist with any payroll related issues on your behalf.
