Introducing our usage-based subscription, Pay-Per-Use Billing!
Where you will use the modules (payroll, leaves, claims, etc) first and get billed afterward on a monthly basis! If you'd like 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 (PPU) billing is based on the number of active employees using each module during the billing period. Charges are applied after the billing period ends, unlike other monthly subscription plans, which are pre-billed or pre-paid for the upcoming month.
Any employee who uses a module—even once—will be counted as active for that month. Our system tracks module usage, and billing happens on fixed dates. For example, the first charge is made on the 5th of the month, with subsequent charges on the 7th, 9th, and 10th (the final charge).
How to activate Pay-Per-Use?
To activate Pay-Per-Use subscription plan, you will need to enter your Credit Card details in the Payment Method section (Settings > Subscription/Billing) and then click Save.

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?
Your usage report is a monthly bill estimate that shows the total number of active employees using per module.
(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 a total of 48 employees for the month of January.
There are 47 employees being assigned to Leave and Claim Types, and using Inventory modules.
Among the 48 employees, there are 42 payslips generated, and 48 headcount appraisal forms being sent out to.
Bill Estimate (January 2025):
Module | Usage | Price | Amount |
Payroll | 42 Payslip Generated for Unique Headcount | $3.5/employee | $147.00 |
Leave | 47 Employees assigned to the Leave Type | $3.5/employee | $164.50 |
Claim | 47 Employees assigned to the Claim Type | $3.5/employee | $164.50 |
Appraisal | 48 Headcount appraisal forms were sent to | $3.5/employee | $168.00 |
Inventory | Yes | $89.90 | $89.90 |

| Gross Total: | $733.90 |
Total Bill = Gross Total x 9% GST
= $733.90 x 9%
= $733.90 + $66.05
= $799.95
For Company A, the total bill estimate for January would be $799.95
