Everything a payroll team runs on
PayrollMaster runs payroll for 20,000+ employees in under a minute. It maintains each country's statutory rules, produces the filings each authority expects — including KRA P9A and P10 — handles casual and gig workers, staff loans and leave, and routes every run through multi-level approvals.
The product
What does a payroll run actually look like?
One screen tells you where payroll stands: who is in this run, what it costs, what is still waiting on an approval, and which filings come out of it.
- Costs by department and cost centre, without exporting anything
- The reports finance asks for — summary, variance and the double-entry journal — from the run you just approved
- Approvals visible: you can see what is waiting, and on whom

What does PayrollMaster Africa include?
PayrollMaster Africa covers the whole pay cycle in 15 feature areas: payroll engine, pay components, statutory compliance, casual & gig payroll, loans & advances, payslips, employee management, leave & holidays, approvals, employee self-service, reports & analytics, accounting integrations, multi-company & agencies, security & access and platform. Each feature page lists what the product does today, and names anything still on the roadmap as such.
Does PayrollMaster produce the statutory returns?
Yes. From each month’s payroll, PayrollMaster produces the returns each tax authority expects — in Kenya, the KRA P10 monthly return and the P9A annual tax card — as PDF, Excel or CSV, ready to upload on the authority’s portal. Statutory ID numbers such as the KRA PIN are validated as you enter them, so a return is not rejected for a malformed number.
Does PayrollMaster pay employees directly?
No. PayrollMaster calculates net pay, records each employee’s payment method and produces the bank bulk-payment file — Absa, NCBA or a standard CSV — then tracks the status of every payment on the run. The money itself moves through your own bank or mobile-money provider, so salaries never pass through PayrollMaster.
Which African countries does PayrollMaster support?
PayrollMaster supports payroll in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Ghana, DR Congo and South Sudan. Each country has its own statutory deductions, its own filing requirements and its own currency, and each one is maintained separately rather than approximated from a shared template.
