Payroll & HR Software in Pakistan

Payroll software in Pakistan calculates salaries, allowances, deductions, income tax and EOBI, then produces payslips and bank transfer files each month. XSoft.pk pairs it with attendance, leave and an employee HRMS on one cloud platform from PKR 3,999 per month, with support from Lahore.

Almost every Pakistani company above fifteen employees still runs payroll in Excel. The salary sheet is rebuilt every month, attendance is copied from a biometric device export, overtime is calculated by hand, and someone spends three days reconciling the bank file against the sheet. One resignation and the formulas break.

A payroll management system removes that cycle. Attendance feeds in automatically, tax slabs and EOBI contributions are computed by rule, arrears and increments are handled as adjustments rather than new columns, and the payslip PDF is generated the moment the run is approved.

XSoft.pk offers payroll on its own for companies that only need salary processing, and as part of a full HRMS for companies that also want attendance, leave, recruitment and appraisals in the same database.

What does payroll software in Pakistan have to handle?

Pakistani payroll is not a generic problem. It needs the right statutory calculations and the right local conventions, or the finance team keeps a parallel spreadsheet — which defeats the purpose.

Salary structures with basic, house rent, utilities, conveyance, medical, special allowance and arrears
Income tax under the current salaried slabs, with adjustable and separate-blockation handling
EOBI employer and employee contribution and social security where applicable
Overtime rates by shift, department or grade, including Friday and public-holiday multipliers
Late, half-day and absence deductions driven directly from biometric attendance
Leave encashment, loan instalments, advance salary and provident fund deductions
Payslip PDFs by email, WhatsApp or employee self-service portal
Bank transfer files in the formats local banks accept, plus a cash-salary worksheet

Payroll software price in Pakistan

Payroll is the cheapest entry point into business software, which is why it is usually the first system a company buys. The table below shows the XSoft.pk range for 2026.

Payroll and HR software price in Pakistan — 2026
System	Monthly rent	One-time setup	Best for
Leave management only	PKR 1,999	PKR 8,000	Small offices starting with leave records
Attendance management	PKR 2,999	PKR 10,000	Factories and offices with biometric devices
Payroll management system	PKR 3,999	PKR 12,000	Any company that pays monthly salaries
Full HRMS (HR + payroll + attendance + appraisal)	PKR 5,999	PKR 18,000	Companies of 50+ staff with an HR department
Recruitment / ATS add-on	PKR 4,999	PKR 15,000	Teams hiring continuously

Payroll software vs HRMS: which do you need?

Payroll software does one job: it turns attendance and salary structure into a payslip and a bank file. An HRMS (Human Resource Management System) does that plus the employee lifecycle — hiring, onboarding, attendance, leave, appraisal, training and exit clearance.

A company of twenty employees with a stable team generally needs payroll plus attendance and nothing more. A company of two hundred with continuous hiring, shift rotations and a formal appraisal cycle needs the HRMS, because the cost of coordinating four separate spreadsheets exceeds the subscription difference. Because both products sit on the same code base, upgrading from payroll to full HRMS later does not mean starting over.

HR and payroll software in Lahore and across Pakistan

XSoft.pk is based in Gulberg 3, Lahore, and most HR clients are within a short drive of the office, which matters when the first payroll run has to be reconciled against a biometric device that refuses to export the right format. On-site support for that first run is included for Lahore clients.

Companies in Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta, Gujranwala and Sialkot are onboarded remotely over a screen share, with the same implementation checklist and the same support channel on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

What is payroll software?

Payroll software automates salary processing: it takes each employee’s salary structure and attendance, applies allowances, deductions, income tax and EOBI, then produces payslips, a salary register and a bank transfer file without manual spreadsheet work.

What is the best payroll software in Pakistan?

The best payroll software fits your statutory calculations, your biometric device and your support expectations. XSoft.pk is a strong fit for Pakistani SMEs because it is priced in rupees from PKR 3,999 per month, handles income tax and EOBI locally, and is supported from Lahore in Urdu or English.

Does it work with our biometric attendance machine?

Yes. Most ZKTeco, Suprema and similar devices can export or push attendance data that the system imports on a schedule. If your device supports a push protocol, integration is configured once and attendance then flows automatically into payroll.

Can payroll handle multiple branches and different salary structures?

Yes. Each branch, department or grade can have its own salary structure, allowances, deduction rules and tax treatment. Payroll runs separately per company or cost centre and consolidates for group reporting at head office.

Are payslips and tax certificates generated automatically?

Yes. Payslip PDFs are produced for each employee on approval of the payroll run and can be emailed, delivered through an employee self-service portal or sent on WhatsApp. Annual tax withholding certificates are generated from the same data at year end.

How long does payroll implementation take?

Two to three working days for a single-company payroll, including employee data import, salary structure setup, a test run in parallel with your current sheet and staff training. Attendance device integration adds one or two days if the device needs firmware or export configuration.
