Payroll
CPF, SDL and the community fund are worked out for every person on your team, payslips come out, and the file CPF EZPay accepts is ready to upload.
Part of Pro 365, one price for the whole team, whatever your headcount.1
Payslips, the CPF file and the books, in a few minutes. Every rate derived from the person, not from a setting you have to remember to change.2
Name, date of birth, citizenship, PR start date, salary. The NRIC is typed once and kept encrypted, not retyped at every submission.
Unpaid leave, approved claims and overtime are already filled in from the HR side. Change anything you like before you save.
CPF, SDL and the community fund per person. You see employer cost, take-home and every deduction before you commit to any of it.
Payslips for your staff, the CPF EZPay file for the portal, and salary and employer CPF posted into your P&L.
The rate comes from the person. Age band and PR year are worked out from a date of birth and a PR start date, so the month somebody turns 55 the calculation changes on its own. A calculator and a spreadsheet will both keep using last month’s formula quite happily.
Rounded the way the Board rounds. Total CPF to the nearest dollar, the employee share down. The additional wage ceiling is tracked across the whole year, so a December bonus is capped against what has already been paid.
The reimbursement lands after CPF. Paying back a taxi fare is not wages, so it is added to take-home and attracts no contribution. Done by hand, this is one of the easiest things in the whole month to get wrong.
How we compare
HReasily is one of the established Singapore payroll names and it does the statutory work properly. The difference is the shape of the bill, and where the money ends up afterwards.
Price
Payroll software in Singapore usually charges per employee per month, so it gets more expensive exactly as you grow. Payroll is part of Pro 365, one price at any size, with leave, attendance, claims, documents, the staff portal and every other app.kevinchia.sg module. We set every business up ourselves.4

Features
Ask for something and it gets built. Every account has a Feedback button that raises a real ticket, read by the person who writes the code. If it would help more than one Singapore business it goes into the module and lands in every account, usually by the next working day.
Need it to work with a tool you already use? Ask the same way. We check that it can be done and tell you straight. You subscribe, by card or PayNow, we build the connection, and you try it on your own account. If we cannot make it work, you get your money back.

From a customer
“An entry point for a small start-up, without being overwhelming.”
“Looking for an easy way to manage my small business, I came across app.kevinchia.sg. This solution has an entry point for a small start-up, not overwhelming, while having more sophisticated features for future scaled-up operations. Had a chance to speak to the founder Kevin and was greatly encouraged that he listens to his clients, big or small, and is always open to see how he can improve the client experience. app.kevinchia.sg not only provides a solution, but provides the relationship management as if you are a big corporate. Very glad to chance upon this software.”

Questions
Payroll is part of Pro 365: S$49 a month, or S$365 a year paid yearly, which works out about S$30 a month. That covers your whole team with no per-head fee, CPF, payslips, the EZPay file and IR8A, plus leave, attendance, claims, documents, the staff portal and every other app.kevinchia.sg module. Email us and we set your business up ourselves.
The rate is derived from the person: their age band, whether they are a citizen or a PR, and if a PR, which year. So the month somebody turns 55 or moves into their third year of PR, the calculation changes on its own rather than waiting for you to notice. Total CPF rounds to the nearest dollar and the employee share rounds down, which is the Board’s own rule, and the additional wage ceiling is tracked across the year so bonuses are capped correctly.
Supported. A PR in their first two years is normally on graduated rates for both sides, but you and the employee can jointly apply to CPF for the employer to contribute at full rates. Tick that on their record and the employer share switches to the full rate while the employee stays graduated, which is exactly what the election means and exactly what gets understated when it is done by hand.
You do, and deliberately. app.kevinchia.sg generates the file CPF EZPay accepts and you upload it, so no credential to a government portal is ever held here. The file declares wages and particulars and the Board computes the contributions its own way, which gives you a free cross-check: if their total differs from your payslips, something is genuinely worth looking at.
No. If you are already paying for a single module, you keep your plan and your price.
Yes. They stay on the team with their appointment date, so the compliance module knows who your directors are, and they never appear in a payroll run.
Yes. A part-timer is paid by unit, with weekday, weekend and public holiday units counted separately, and their CPF follows the same age and residency rules as everybody else. Overtime hours come across from the clock-in screen if your staff use it, already totalled, and you can edit any of it before you save.
Finalising a run posts salary, employer CPF and SDL into your P&L as expenses dated in the right month, and settles every approved expense claim in its own category at the same time. Employer cost is therefore in your accounts the moment payday is done, rather than at the end of the quarter.
For anything that needs professional judgement or a signature, yes. This is not advice. What it changes is what you hand over: twelve months of finalised runs, IR8A already built from them, and employer cost already in your P&L.
