Every pay run, on schedule
Gross-to-net calculations, tax codes, National Insurance and deductions worked out correctly for each employee, on your chosen pay frequency.
Payroll & Pensions
Payroll that just runs. Every time.
Fully managed payroll and workplace pensions for UK employers. Your team paid correctly and on time, HMRC and your pension provider filed automatically, and none of it landing on your desk.
Fully managed, not DIY software
Hand it over and stop thinking about it
Running payroll yourself means keeping up with tax codes, National Insurance, statutory pay, RTI deadlines and pension re-enrolment — every single pay run, or HMRC starts issuing penalties.
With Buzz, a specialist payroll team handles the whole cycle for you. You tell us who's changed and what they've earned; we do the rest and send everything back ready to pay. Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly — whatever suits your business.
What's included
Everything a compliant pay run needs
Payslips & reports
Branded digital payslips for your team, plus a clear summary each period showing exactly what to pay staff and what to pay HMRC.
RTI filed with HMRC
Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries sent to HMRC on time, every time — the real-time reporting the law requires.
Statutory pay handled
Sick pay, maternity, paternity and holiday pay calculated correctly, so you stay compliant and your team is treated fairly.
Auto-enrolment pensions
Workplace pension assessment, contributions and submissions to your provider each period, with opt-ins and opt-outs managed for you.
Starters, leavers & year-end
New starters, leavers with P45s, P60s at year end and the full end-of-year submission — all part of the service, not an add-on.
Workplace pensions
Auto-enrolment, without the admin headache
Every UK employer has to enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and keep it running. It's fiddly, deadline-driven and easy to get wrong.
- Assessing which staff must be enrolled, each pay period
- Calculating and submitting contributions to your provider
- Handling opt-ins, opt-outs and refunds correctly
- Managing three-yearly re-enrolment and your Declaration of Compliance
We keep pensions running alongside payroll so the two never fall out of step.
How it works
Four steps to payroll off your plate
- 1We set you up
We register you as an employer with HMRC if needed, connect your pension scheme, and load your existing employees so nothing is lost in the switch.
- 2You send us the changes
Each period you tell us what's changed — hours, new starters, leavers, bonuses. If nothing's changed, you don't have to do anything.
- 3We run and file it
We process the pay run, send you payslips and a payment summary, and file RTI with HMRC and contributions with your pension provider.
- 4You pay your team
You make the payments knowing the figures are right and the compliance is done. Year-end P60s and submissions are handled automatically.

Simple, transparent pricing
Priced per employee, with no surprises
Payroll is charged on a simple per-employee, per-pay-run basis, with workplace pension administration quoted alongside it. No setup traps, no per-submission add-ons — you'll know the cost before you commit.
Payroll can be run as a standalone service or bundled into a wider Buzz accountancy package. Tell us your team size and pay frequency and we'll send a fixed quote.
Frequently asked questions
Common payroll & pension questions
How often can you run our payroll?
Whatever suits your business — weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly. We set the schedule around your pay dates and stick to it.
Can you take over payroll partway through the tax year?
Yes. We handle mid-year switches all the time. We bring across your year-to-date figures and employee records so there's no gap and nothing is double-counted.
Do you handle the workplace pension as well?
Yes. Auto-enrolment assessment, contributions, opt-ins and opt-outs, three-yearly re-enrolment and your Declaration of Compliance are all managed alongside the payroll, so the two stay in sync.
What do you need from us each pay run?
Just the changes — new starters, leavers, hours, overtime, bonuses or anything unusual. If nothing has changed, you don't need to send us anything and the run goes ahead as normal.
Do you deal with HMRC for us?
Yes. We file your Real Time Information (RTI) submissions each pay run and handle year-end reporting, P60s and P45s. You get a clear summary of what to pay HMRC and when.
How much does payroll cost?
It's priced per employee, per pay run, with pension administration quoted alongside. Send us your team size and pay frequency and we'll give you a fixed price before you commit.
Is payroll included in your accountancy packages?
It can be. Payroll works as a standalone service or as part of a wider Buzz package covering your accounts, tax and bookkeeping — whichever is simpler for you.
