About Us

Built by a small business owner, for small business owners

LivyPayroll is self-serve payroll software built for U.S. small businesses.

The Story

A problem solved from the inside

As both a software developer and a small business owner, Chris Davies understood the payroll problem from both sides. Existing payroll solutions were either too expensive, too complex, or designed for large enterprises. Not for an owner paying a handful of employees every two weeks. That thinking became LivyPayroll, a self-serve payroll platform built for small business owners.

LivyPayroll brings that same approach to small businesses in the United States: simple, affordable, self-serve payroll, without the complexity or cost of a managed service.

What We Do

Payroll, your way

LivyPayroll is a self-serve payroll platform built for U.S. small businesses, from sole proprietors with a single employee to bookkeepers and accountants managing payroll for 40+ companies.

Business owners run their own payroll, pay employees directly, and deposit their payroll taxes themselves. LivyPayroll handles everything in between: Social Security, Medicare, and federal/state income tax calculations using current IRS and state tables, pay stub generation, W-2 forms, and tax liabilities summaries. No third-party handling of your money.

For bookkeepers and accountants running payroll for multiple clients, Bookkeeper Pro adds client billing tools and multi-company management on top of the same core platform.

Built for U.S. Payroll

Designed for how U.S. small businesses run payroll

LivyPayroll is designed specifically for the rules, rates, and realities of running payroll in the United States. Not adapted from a generic international product; built around federal and state tax withholding from the ground up.

All 50 states Full federal and state tax support, including states with no state income tax

Updated as rates change Current IRS and state withholding tables applied automatically

Hourly, salary, and piecework Every employee type covered

What our customers are saying

Real reviews from real U.S. business owners.

Thank you so very much! The easiest program I have ever used in my 30 years of doing payroll. I will highly recommend LivyPayroll! Creating and sending pay stubs is a breeze.

Gail

I was so relieved to find your free pay stub generator! Your site actually did what I needed: just create pay stubs and keep track of what employees were earning. Pretty much all the others want you to process payroll through them.

Meghan

We just cancelled our contract with Quickbooks Payroll to move over to LivyPayroll. It offers everything we need.

Rob

LivyPayroll has taken the stress out of running payroll. What used to take me half a day now takes just minutes, and I know the withholding is right every time.

Jennifer

As a small business owner, payroll was always confusing and time-consuming. LivyPayroll made it simple and accurate without me needing to be an expert.

Stephen

We've processed payroll through LivyPayroll for over 3 years. It's reliable, easy to use, and gives me peace of mind.
