Payroll · How-to

Compare pay month by month

See each person's net pay month by month with the employer's cost, and open the run behind any month.

  1. 01

    Open the Periods tab

    Open Payroll › Periods. It shows the last twelve months; change “From” and “To” to see others, up to 24 months at a time.

  2. 02

    Read a cell

    Each cell is one person's net pay for a month. A month paid as an advance and a remainder is one cell, and “advance only” marks a month that so far has just the advance.

  3. 03

    Know how drafts count

    A run still in draft is marked “draft” and never counted in the totals.

  4. 04

    Read the totals

    The “Net paid” row totals each month's approved and paid pay, with the employer's cost beneath it.

  5. 05

    Open a run or export

    Click a cell to open its run. “Export CSV” downloads the table, if your role can export Payroll.

Common questions

Can I see payroll by month on the phone?

Yes: Periods shows one person’s months on a phone, and people by months on an iPad. A month paid in two parts is one cell, marked when only the advance exists, and drafts are left out of the totals. Export CSV goes to the share sheet.
