Quick answers
What is BooksAuto?
Canadian software for three jobs: Payroll (pay runs, remittances, T4s, ROEs, cheques and direct deposit), Scheduling & time clock (staff schedules, a tablet time clock, a staff app and approved time sheets) and Bookkeeping (coming soon). Use one on its own or any mix — for each company you choose the modules it needs. Online in your browser, on Windows, or both.
How accurate are the payroll calculations?
BooksAuto follows the formulas CRA publishes for payroll deductions (T4127) — CPP, second CPP (CPP2), EI, and federal and provincial income tax, including the bonus method and year-to-date maximums. Tax tables are updated each January and July. We also recommend checking a few cheques against CRA's online calculator (PDOC) when you start.
Which provinces are supported?
Payroll works for every province and territory except Quebec, with CRA tax tables back to 2021; overtime on the schedule follows each province's employment standards (or the Canada Labour Code). Quebec payroll is on the roadmap.
How does pricing work?
You pay per company and choose its modules. Payroll is sized by employees: $10 (up to 10), $25 (up to 20) or $45 (no limit) a month. Bookkeeping is $10 a month (coming soon). Payroll and Bookkeeping are 50% off for your first year. Scheduling is $15, $29.99 or $69.99 a month by staff count. For each company choose Online, Windows app (same price) or both, synced (+$5/month).
What is the first-year offer?
50% off Payroll and Bookkeeping for one year from the day you create your account — on every company you add in that year, monthly or yearly. After that year your companies continue at the regular price; we email you a month before. Scheduling and the Online + Windows option are always at their regular price.
