Australia Payroll Register Generator
A payroll register puts your whole pay run’s numbers in one place: every employee’s gross pay, PAYG tax withheld, net pay, and the Super Guarantee your business owes on top — the same figures behind your Payday Super deadline and PAYG withholding remittance. Add your staff below and each row is computed for you, using the exact same engine as this site’s own Tax Withheld Calculator — just applied to a whole team instead of one person at a time.
One Pay Frequency for the Whole Register
Set your pay frequency (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) once at the top — it applies to every employee you add, since the ATO’s withholding formulas use different coefficients depending on how often you pay. If you run separate weekly and monthly payrolls for different staff, build two registers.
Super Guarantee Is Shown, Not Deducted
The Super column shows 12% of each employee’s gross pay for the period — this is money your business pays into their super fund on top of their gross pay, not a deduction from it. It never touches the Net Pay column. Under Payday Super (effective since 1 July 2026), this amount needs to reach each employee’s fund within 7 business days of the payday this register is for.
Per-Employee Tax Settings
Three checkboxes drive each employee’s withholding: whether they’ve claimed the tax-free threshold with you (unticking this applies the steeper no-threshold scale), whether they have a Study and Training Support Loan debt (adds the Schedule 8 component on top of ordinary withholding), and whether they’ve provided a TFN at all (ticking “No TFN provided” forces the flat 47% rate regardless of the other settings, matching the ATO’s own rule for un-declared employees).
Who Should Use This?
Small business owners and bookkeepers who want a quick, correct payroll register for a handful of staff without opening full payroll software — to sanity-check a pay run, prepare a simple record for your accountant, or just see the numbers laid out clearly before you process payments.
What This Doesn’t Cover
This isn’t a replacement for real payroll software: it doesn’t handle Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting to the ATO, leave accrual, superannuation fund payment processing, or the annual tax offset entitlement some employees claim on a Withholding declaration (a rare case — use the standalone Tax Withheld Calculator for that one). It also assumes resident employees only, matching the scope of every calculator in this series.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this payroll register calculate for each employee?
Gross pay, PAYG tax withheld (ATO Schedule 1 + 8), other deductions you enter, net pay, and 12% Super Guarantee.
Is Super Guarantee deducted from the employee’s net pay?
No — it’s an employer cost paid on top of gross pay, shown separately, never subtracted from net pay.
Can I export the register?
Yes, as CSV, Excel, or a formatted PDF, named after your company and pay period.
Does this replace real payroll software?
No — it’s a quick sense-check for a small number of staff, not a full STP-compliant payroll system.
This register provides an estimate based on ATO Schedule 1 and Schedule 8 formulas for Australian resident employees. It doesn’t handle Single Touch Payroll reporting, leave accrual, tax offset entitlements, or non-resident/working holiday maker withholding. Nothing you enter is saved or transmitted — it exists only in this browser tab until you export or close it. Check ato.gov.au or a registered tax/BAS agent for advice about your specific situation.
