First, the law changed
GRA's monthly PAYE bands changed on 1 September 2026 (Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 2026): the tax-free first band rose from GH₵490 to GH₵588 and the bands above it were reshaped. Whatever you choose, check that it charges September 2026 payroll on the new bands — and work out any employee's figure with our Ghana PAYE calculator.
Akatua+
Cloud payroll and HR from theSOFTtribe, a Ghanaian software company. It describes automated PAYE against GRA tables, SSNIT Tiers 1 to 3, multi-currency payroll and a local support team in Accra, priced per employee per month. Choose it if payroll and HR are the whole job. Source: akatua.com.
Finza
Business software for Ghana with payroll on its Professional and Business plans. It calculates PAYE and employee and employer pension contributions with SSNIT/Tier 1 and Tier 2 breakdowns, exports GRA DT 107A and SSNIT files, and sends payslips by email or WhatsApp link. Plans start from GH₵149/month with a 14-day free trial. Choose it if you want payroll next to invoicing and accounting. Source: finza.africa.
SellarPro HR & Payroll
Payroll inside the same system that runs your sales, stock and accounts: employees, payroll components, PAYE, SSNIT employee and employer shares, Tier 2, leave, staff loans, payslips and payroll reports, with PAYE charged on the GRA bands in force for each pay period. It is part of the Enterprise plan. Choose it if you already run (or want to run) the business on SellarPro. Look elsewhere if you only need payroll. See HR & Payroll.
SeamlessHR, Deel Local Payroll and Workpay
HR and payroll platforms built for employers in several African countries, including Ghana, generally priced by quote or per employee. Choose one if you pay staff in more than one country and want one system.
Zoho Payroll and QuickBooks Payroll
Strong products built for other countries' tax systems. Before relying on either for Ghanaian staff, confirm your edition calculates Ghana PAYE and SSNIT — otherwise the statutory figures fall back on you.
What to check before you choose
- Bands by date. Does it use the September 2026 PAYE bands from September, and the old ones for earlier months?
- SSNIT and Tier 2 worked out on basic salary, with the employer's share shown separately.
- Filing outputs for your monthly GRA and SSNIT returns.
- Payslips employees can receive by email or WhatsApp.
- Loans, leave and allowances handled without a side spreadsheet.
