Wagepoint

Payroll software for small businesses in Canada

Visit Wagepoint

Wagepoint is Canadian payroll software for small businesses, bookkeepers, and accountants. It handles pay runs, tax calculations, remittances, and year-end forms, including T4s, T4As, and Records of Employment, with CRA compliance built in. It also supports day-to-day people management through an employee self-serve portal and a mobile app.

Key features include automated payroll calculations, direct deposit, multiple pay groups, effective dating for mid-cycle changes, custom income and deduction codes, Workers' Compensation reporting, and payroll registers. The employee portal lets staff view paystubs, check pay dates, update personal details, and track year-to-date earnings; the My Wagepoint app adds mobile pay info and time entry submission. Integrations connect with Xero, QuickBooks Online, and FreshBooks. Security features include SSO, two-factor authentication, and SOC 2 certification.

Wagepoint is built for Canadian small businesses and the accounting professionals who support them. Pricing is monthly and based on payroll frequency, with a Solo plan for one payroll run per month and an Unlimited plan for unlimited runs, each adding a per-employee or contractor fee. A 14-day free trial is available, and support is included with every plan.
