Payroll management
Run payroll in 36+ markets with statutory calculations that update as the law changes, Kenya's PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy and NITA; Tanzania's PSSSF, SDL and WCF; Rwanda's RSSB pension, maternity and CBHI; Nigeria's PenCom and NHF; Ghana's SSNIT tiers; South Africa's UIF and SDL.
Rates are effective-dated. A retrospective run uses the rates in force for that pay period, not today's, which is what makes back-pay and corrections computable rather than a manual reconstruction.
Bulk runs with per-employee customisation, automatic reliefs, and post-tax deductions including student loans, company loans and advances tracked throughout.

Employee self-service
Employees can easily generate their own payslips, verify their tax obligations and final net pay. This means less work for HR and a better experience for everyone.
Outsourced payroll services
Let our specialists handle payroll for you. With Outsourced Payroll, a dedicated specialist takes care of the work inside CromaHR, from tax calculations to filings and deadlines. You review and approve. We handle the execution.
Terminal benefits
Compute gross terminal benefits for departing staff with the right rules applied for each exit type, resignation, redundancy, retirement or dismissal. Service pay and gratuity, accrued leave payout and notice-in-lieu are all calculated before final approval.
The estimate feeds straight into the offboarding final-pay run, so the number the employee was shown is the number they receive.
Payroll in motion
Statutory deductions, effective-dated rates and government-ready returns, computed, filed and reconciled in one place.
CromaHR replaced spreadsheets, cut down errors, and handed us full control of HR management and payroll.

We update the platform, usually within days of gazettement. Because rates are effective-dated, past periods keep the rates that applied then. You do nothing, your next run is simply correct, and we email you explaining what moved and why.
No. Every market has its own floor and each is applied automatically, Kenya's NSSF lower earnings limit of 9,000 and housing levy floor of 24,000, Uganda's NSSF floor of 235,000, Tanzania's 270,000 threshold, and Ghana's minimum SSNIT base of GHS 539.19. A Kenyan casual on 5,600 gross pays the SHIF minimum and nothing else.
Journals export by department, project or site in a format your accountant can post directly. If you are on CromaLedger it posts automatically.
Yes, payroll outsourcing is available from $49 a month plus a per-employee fee. You send inputs and approve; our team computes, files, remits and reports.
Yes. Multi-entity payroll lets you run separate payrolls for each legal entity under one login, each with its own pay calendar, statutory configuration and cost centres. Consolidated reporting across entities is available for group finance.
Staff loans, salary advances and check-off deductions are tracked with amortisation schedules. Each deduction appears on the payslip with the remaining balance, and the system stops deducting once the loan is cleared. No manual tracking, no over-deduction.
One-off bonuses, recurring commissions and performance-linked payments are all supported. Each can be taxed correctly per the country's rules, and commission structures can be tiered or flat. Everything flows through to the payslip and the statutory returns.
