Please note: the Payroll Costs feature is only available to new customers who have joined Float after the 4th of September, 2023. We are working hard to bring this out for existing customers soon.
People Costs will automatically budget for your Payroll, Tax and Pension costs. We do this by combining all of your payroll accounts and add a repeating cost based on your previous months payroll costs.
Automatically budgeting for your payroll costs helps you save time on forecasting and allows you to focus on answering those important ‘what if’ questions about different scenarios like, can I take on a new hire?
We value your feedback to enhance our product. If the forecasted amount isn’t quite right or we are missing something useful, use the Give Feedback link to let us know how you would improve Payroll Costs and what you want to see next!
