Director payroll software for UK limited companies
Pay yourself as a company director with payroll that gets director rules right. Nxsys uses the annual National Insurance earnings period, files RTI with HMRC and costs £2.00 a month for a one-director payroll.
Why is director payroll different?
Company directors pay National Insurance differently from other employees. NI for directors is worked out on an annual earnings period, not pay period by pay period, and there are rules about Employment Allowance when a director is the only employee.
Annual
Directors’ National Insurance is calculated on their pay for the whole tax year.
RTI
A director-only payroll still has to send an FPS to HMRC every time pay is made.
£2.00
One director on Nxsys costs £2.00 a month, with every feature included.
Nxsys applies the director rules automatically once you mark an employee as a director.

Yes, if you pay yourself a salary. Every payment must be reported to HMRC through RTI, even on a director-only payroll.
02How is National Insurance worked out for directors?
Directors use an annual earnings period, so National Insurance is worked out on their pay for the whole tax year. Nxsys applies it automatically.
