Payroll

US payroll, gross to net, in one call.

About this API

Federal, state and local payroll withholding for a single paycheck or a whole pay run. Send earnings, W-4 data and year-to-date figures; get every tax and deduction, net pay, updated year-to-date, a render-ready pay statement, and the items the employee's state legally requires on a wage statement. Nothing is stored and nothing is filed - the numbers and the compliance metadata are the product.
