Payroll software in South Sudan
Payroll software in South Sudan
PayrollMaster Africa is payroll software for South Sudanese employers. It calculates PAYE and National Social Insurance Fund contributions on every payslip, produces the monthly return for the National Revenue Authority and the bank payment file in South Sudanese pounds — with the tax bands maintained centrally, because South Sudan revises them more often than most markets.
Compliance
What must a South Sudanese employer deduct from every payslip?
2 statutory items, collected by 2 different bodies. PayrollMaster calculates each one on the same payslip.
South Sudanese employers pay monthly. The pound has lost much of its value in recent years, and successive Finance Acts and Bills have raised the tax-free threshold to keep low earners out of tax — so a payroll built on last year’s bands quickly deducts the wrong amount.
| Deduction | Authority | Paid by | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAYE Personal income tax on employment income | National Revenue Authority (NRA) | Employee | Not yet verified |
| NSIF National Social Insurance Fund | National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF) | Employer + employee | 8% employee + 17% employer of gross salary Source Sources disagree. These rates come from employer-of-record country guides, not an official NSIF rate table, and the scheme’s terms have been contested by trade unions since direct remittance to the Fund became compulsory in 2026. Confirm the current rates and contribution base with NSIF before relying on them. |
Rates last reviewed 2026-11-02 against National Revenue Authority and other official sources. Where authorities genuinely conflict, both readings are shown rather than resolved. Statutory rates change with every finance act — confirm current figures with a local practitioner before relying on them. PayrollMaster applies the current rates centrally, so your payroll run does not depend on this table being fresh.

See all plansIs PayrollMaster compliant with South Sudan’s National Revenue Authority?
PayrollMaster calculates PAYE on graduated monthly bands and NSIF contributions on every payslip, and produces the monthly return the NRA expects. South Sudan’s bands change often, so they are maintained centrally and applied on the day you run payroll — there is no formula to update when a Finance Act moves them.
Why do South Sudan’s PAYE bands keep changing?
Because the South Sudanese pound has lost much of its value, successive Finance Acts and Bills have raised the tax-free threshold and widened the bands so inflation does not drag low earners into tax. Published tables still disagree with each other, so confirm the bands in force for your pay period before relying on any single source.
How much does payroll software cost in South Sudan?
PayrollMaster charges KES 100 per employee per month on Starter and KES 150 on Professional, quoted and charged in Kenyan shillings, while the payroll itself runs in South Sudanese pounds. Statutory filing is included rather than charged per submission, there is no setup fee, and Enterprise is priced on request.
Can PayrollMaster pay South Sudanese employees in pounds?
It prepares the payment; your bank or mobile-money provider moves the money. PayrollMaster calculates net pay in South Sudanese pounds and records each employee’s payment method — bank, mobile money, cash or cheque, with multiple accounts and salary splits — then produces the bank payment file and tracks the status of every payment on the run. Payslips are generated and emailed in bulk, and no run is final without an authorised approval.
