What does payroll outsourcing in Singapore include?
A typical service covers monthly gross-to-net payroll, itemised payslips, CPF contributions, bank salary files, leave and claims, and year-end IR8A or AIS submissions to IRAS. Many providers also handle tax clearance (IR21) for departing foreign staff and government-paid leave claims.
Where providers differ is in what sits around payroll: some add HR advisory and recruitment, some bundle their own HR software, and some are accounting firms that run payroll alongside bookkeeping. Pick the type that matches what else you want to hand over.

How much does payroll outsourcing cost in Singapore?
Published prices on this list start at S$10 per employee a month (Frontier e-HR) and S$100 a month for up to five staff (Abacus Corp). Expect minimum monthly fees for small teams, according to Excellence Singapore.
Price depends on headcount, how many pay groups and entities you have, how often pay changes (overtime, commissions, shift allowances), and whether foreign staff need tax clearance. Ask for a quote that lists everything included, and check what extra work, such as off-cycle payruns or audits, is charged separately.
How did we choose and order these providers?
We required a Singapore presence and a published description of payroll scope covering CPF and IRAS submissions. Liberte Consulting is a client of this site’s publisher and is listed first. The others are ordered by how many payroll tasks their own payroll page names, from most to fewest. No business paid to be listed. Google ratings will be added later with the date checked.
What should you ask before outsourcing payroll?
Ask who checks each payrun before it is released, the monthly cut-off dates, how payroll data is secured, and how errors are corrected. Confirm who submits CPF and IR8A and that you can export your records if you leave.
Payroll data includes NRIC numbers, salaries and bank details, so ask about access controls and data security certifications such as ISO 27001, and how the provider handles your obligations under the PDPA.
Frequently asked questions
Is outsourcing payroll worth it for a small company?
Often, yes. With published fees from about S$100 a month for up to five staff, outsourcing can cost less than the time an owner spends on payroll, CPF and year-end filings, and reduces the risk of late submissions.
Will the provider submit IR8A forms for us?
Six of the seven name IR8A or year-end IRAS submissions in their scope. Confirm whether they file through AIS on your behalf and who signs off the figures.
Can a payroll provider handle staff in other countries?
Some can. Frontier e-HR covers six countries and Liberte Consulting lists regional payslips. If you have staff outside Singapore, ask which countries are covered in-house.
What is the difference between payroll software and payroll outsourcing?
With software, your team runs payroll using the tool. With outsourcing, the provider’s team runs it for you, often on its own software. Several providers here, such as Info-Tech and Frontier e-HR, offer both.
How long does it take to switch payroll provider?
Plan around one to two payroll cycles to transfer employee data, check a parallel run and set up bank and CPF files. Start well before a year-end filing deadline.
