For contractors and firms that engage them
HMRC-recognised payroll whether you are a limited company contractor paying yourself, or a business paying PAYE staff and CIS subcontractors side by side. PAYE, RTI, CIS300 returns, pensions and payslips, handled in minutes a month.
A one-director company does not need an outsourced bureau, and a firm engaging contract workers does not need three systems. One product covers both.
Director-only payroll in minutes
Pay yourself a director salary with the correct NI treatment, file RTI on time, and get your payslip and P60 without touching a spreadsheet.
Inside-IR35 workers on payroll, correctly
Workers deemed inside IR35 need PAYE and NI deducted at source. Run them through payroll alongside your permanent staff, with every deduction visible on the payslip.
Variable pay periods and day rates
Day rates, irregular months and gaps between engagements are normal contracting life. Enter what was worked, and the payslip preview shows exactly what will be paid.
Pricing that matches a small operation
Pay per payslip. A single-director company pays for twelve payslips a year, not an annual software licence.
From one director to a full contract workforce.
Director payroll
Directors’ NI calculated on the annual earnings period, with salary levels you control and can change at any time.
RTI on autopilot
FPS submitted and confirmed on every run, EPS when needed. No missed deadlines, no late-filing penalties.
CIS alongside PAYE
Monthly CIS300 returns, subcontractor statements and deduction calculations, handled natively next to your PAYE payroll.
Pensions when you need them
Auto-enrolment assessment runs automatically. Director-only companies with no other staff can record their exemption cleanly.
Journals and reports
Export payroll journals for your accountant or bookkeeping software after every run.
API for volume users
Engaging contract workers at scale? The same payroll engine is available as an API to embed in your own systems.
Yes. Director-only payroll is one of the most common uses of Moonworkers. You set your salary, the software handles directors’ NI, RTI filings and payslips, and you pay per payslip rather than a yearly licence.
