STP Payroll — Free Payroll Tool for Small Enterprises
Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a no-cost payroll app created for small businesses that must be STP-compliant by July. Built by Bookipi Pty Ltd, an award-winning Australian team, the application is already used by more than 260,000 small business operators. It makes adding employees and running regular pay cycles fast and straightforward.
Core functions and advantages
- Choose your pay frequency: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to match your business routine.
- Automatically request TFN declaration and superannuation forms from new hires to reduce paperwork.
- Add any type of worker quickly — full-time, part-time, casual or salaried staff.
- Produce unlimited payslips and process unlimited pay runs for as many employees as you need, without charges.
- Keep track of and approve employee leave within the same system.
- View payslips before sending and distribute them directly to staff from the app.
- Use the service across multiple devices, including desktop, so payroll can be managed wherever you are.
How it works in practice
Enter employee details, select the appropriate classification and pay schedule, and the app will guide you through compliance steps such as collecting TFN and super information. After each pay run you can review and send payslips, and the system supports the STP reporting workflow required by authorities.
Platform access and mobility
The app synchronizes across phones, tablets and desktop systems, allowing business owners and managers to check payroll status and issue payslips on the go. The interface is designed to be simple and intuitive so non-specialists can complete payroll tasks quickly.
Why small businesses choose this app
Its combination of zero cost, straightforward setup, device synchronization, and automated form chasing makes it a strong option for micro and small businesses that need to stay STP-ready without a steep learning curve or subscription fees.
