Rippling

Rippling publishes a starting price for UK payroll, not a full rate card. The base fee is £30/mo. The published charge for each person paid is From £7/user/mo. HR, IT and benefits products are quoted separately, and so is Employer of Record. Annual contracts are the norm, so get the full quote before you compare Rippling with a provider that publishes its whole price.

Yes. Rippling is on HMRC's recognised payroll software list, submits RTI Full Payment Submissions, and handles workplace pension auto-enrolment through major UK pension providers. Statutory pay and P60/P45 issuance are included. CIS support for construction subcontractors is limited, so confirm coverage before relying on it.

What is different about Rippling is what sits around UK payroll, not the payroll itself. It also manages staff laptops and software licences, so a new starter's pay record and IT access are set up together, and shut off together when they leave. Hiring outside the UK is an add-on, not part of the payroll price.

Yes, as an add-on. Rippling supports hiring staff outside the UK through global payroll, which works through your own overseas entities or through its Employer of Record service where you have none. It also lists misclassification protection, immigration support and contractor-to-employee conversion for cross-border hires. Employer of Record is quoted separately, so none of this is in the published starting price.

Rippling is for a UK business that hires and offboards often enough to want payroll, HR records and IT access handled in one place. Its published price is a starting point, with further products quoted on top. Annual contracts are the norm, so get the whole quote in writing first.

Rippling has its own AI built in (Rippling AI) for HR, payroll and IT workflows. If you want to connect an outside AI agent to your Rippling data, that goes through a third-party connector and not one Rippling provides itself.

Rippling is priced per employee per month on top of a platform fee, and each product (HR, payroll, IT, benefits) is added separately. It publishes a starting price, not a rate card. The platform fee is £30/mo. The published per-employee charge is From £7/user/mo, and the modules above that are quoted for your business. Annual contracts are typical. The table above costs it at your headcount as a starting price, never as a firm total.

Yes. Rippling offers native UK PAYE payroll, and pension auto-enrolment is handled within that same payroll engine. Rippling also covers UK employment law and right to work checks, and the platform is GDPR compliant.

Rippling covers IT as well as HR. Besides HR records, leave and performance modules, it sets up and manages employee laptops and software licences. That is worth having if you take people on regularly and issue them kit. If you do not, it is scope you pay for and do not use, and each module is quoted on top of the published starting price.

Rippling connects to accounting software along with productivity and IT tools. Its listed integrations: Xero, QBO, Slack, 650+. If your accounts package is not named there, ask Rippling about it before you go any further.

Rippling is generally a better fit for mid-market businesses combining HR, IT, and payroll needs than for a small UK business. Its modular pricing starts from a published platform fee of £30/mo, with per-employee charges and modules priced above it. Annual contracts are standard. A small team can weigh that floor against the flat and per-employee UK prices in the table above.
