Please refer to the QuickBooks website for the terms and conditions.

Quickbooks starts you off with a 30-day free trial so you can see if the service is right for you. However, it also offers 50% off for the first three months if you skip the free trial and buy right away.

So if you know Quickbooks is right for you, then the immediate buy is a solid investment. Otherwise, the free trial may be worth it.

Core

Core is Quickbooks’ starter plan at $45/month ($22.50/month for three months if skipping the trial) plus $4/employee per month. That price brings you all the basics, such as full-service, automated payroll, 401(k) plan admin/compliance/recordkeeping, streamlined health benefit search and management, and next-day direct deposit.

Premium

Premium — the most popular Quickbooks Payroll plan — costs $75/month ($37.50/ per month if skipping the trial) plus $8/employee per month. Premium is so popular because it keeps Core’s features and adds same-day direct deposit, worker’s comp administration, an HR support center, remote time tracking, and expert setup help.

Elite

At $125/month ($62.50/month if you skip the trial) plus $10/employee per month, Elite is one of the pricier plans on the market. But there’s a reason for that. Elite contains everything from Core and Premium but adds advanced features and VIP treatment. These include remote project tracking, tax penalty protection, white-glove custom setup, and 24/7 expert support. All Elite customers also get a personal HR advisor.
