How Much Does NetSuite Payroll Cost?

  • SuitePeople U.S. Payroll is available as an add-on module to NetSuite.

    But the real cost isn't the license. It's the hours spent reconciling ADP or Paychex to NetSuite, the tax penalties from filing errors, and the manual work importing time entries into separate payroll systems.

Why Choose Stockton10?

GL posting mappings wrong
Payroll posts to wrong GL accounts. Finance catches it months later during reconciliation. We ensure GL mappings stay accurate.
Tax setups drift out of compliance
State tax rates updated but local taxes weren't. Multi-state employees taxed incorrectly. We monitor tax configuration accuracy.
Deduction mappings became outdated
Added new 401k provider. Old deduction codes still active. Some employees have duplicate deductions. We clean up deduction configurations.
Payroll processing takes too long
Running payroll takes 2 hours because of manual reviews and adjustments. Should take 10 minutes. We streamline payroll workflows.
Integration with time tracking breaks
Time entries stopped flowing to payroll. Payroll manager enters hours manually now. We monitor integrations.
Commission calculations wrong
Sales commissions calculate incorrectly. Finance fixes them manually every payroll. We configure commission logic properly.
