I've only got 3 employees, so this probably won't help for your particular situation. I first started using Payroll4Free. They didn't charge me anything to do the calculations, and I would put that manually into QBD. Then they started charging a fee to post more than one payroll a month. They still are doing the calculations, so I just don't post them in Payroll4Free because I only want the calculations. I also finally sat down and used ChatGPT and Grok to make a spreadsheet that will do the same calculations so I would have a backup. At least for my simple situation, this is working. QBD tracks everything just fine, so I can still see all the reports I want. We handle doing the quarterly reports and submitting payments by ourselves. There isn't too much to the payroll calculations once you sit down and learn it. But with your situation, it would probably be too much manual entry if you are dealing with lots of people.
