Introducing our usage-based subscription, Pay-Per-Use Billing!

Where you will use the modules (payroll, leaves and claims etc) first and get billed afterward on a monthly basis! If you wish to change your subscription plan to this usage-based subscription, please reach out to us through the support chat.

What is Pay-Per-Use?

Pay-Per-Use is calculated based on the number of active employees per module.

Any employee that uses a module (even once) will be counted as an active employee. This allows our system to track the number of employees that uses a module in a month.

What is the difference between Pay-Per-Use Subscription VS Current Subscription?

How does proration work in a Pay-Per-Use subscription?

(Note: Proration calculation is only applicable to the first month of your Pay-Per-Use) billing.)

Formulae:

This formula calculates the amount to be deducted from the gross total using

the number of non-working days in the first month.

Example:
Company A just subscribed to PayBoy on 10th April. They have onboarded all their employees. They have been using the Pay-Per-Use subscription for the month of April and it is currently May.

Gross Total (April) : $200

Their bill estimate for April will be calculated as follows:

Gross Total - Prorated Discount = Bill Estimate

Prorated Amount:
No. of days before subscription date = 9 days (1 April - 9 April)

No. of days in a month = 30 days (April has 30 days)

Bill Estimate For April:


$200 - $60 = $140

How do you read the monthly bill estimate?

(Note: The monthly bill estimate is not inclusive of proration and overall coupon discounts)

Let's read this monthly bill estimate for Company A:

Company A has total of 22 employees for the month of May.

There are 22 employees using leaves, claims and project costing modules.

Among the 22 employees, there are 2 Employees using shift schedule module.

Total Bill = Gross Total X 7% GST

= $294.00 X 7%

= $294.00 + $20.58

= $314.58

For Company A, the total bill estimate for May would be $314.58

(This bill estimated is based on the year 2022, do take note of the difference in pricing and GST accordingly.)
