Every Canadian province has its own income tax rates and brackets on top of federal tax. Quebec runs its own parallel system entirely — QPP instead of CPP, plus QPIP, an extra premium that doesn't exist anywhere else in the country. Getting a single pay run right means keeping all of that current, every year, for every province you have employees in.
Small businesses either pay for expensive enterprise payroll platforms built for HR departments they don't have, or do it by hand in a spreadsheet and hope the numbers are right. PayPrairie exists to close that gap: real CRA-based calculations, without the enterprise price tag or the learning curve.
The Problem
13 different provincial tax regimes, Quebec's separate system, and CRA rules that change every year.
The Approach
One platform that calculates CPP/QPP, EI/QPIP, and income tax automatically from CRA's payroll deduction tables — for every province, out of the box.
The Result
Run payroll in minutes, generate the year-end slips you need, and always know what you owe CRA.
Payroll math has to be right every single time — deduction tables and provincial rates are kept current, not "close enough."
A small business owner shouldn't need payroll training to run their own payroll. If it takes a manual, we've failed.
Every company gets a fully isolated database. We never mix your payroll data with anyone else's, and you can export it any time.
We tell you plainly what PayPrairie automates (calculations, slips, remittance amounts) and what still requires you or your accountant (actually filing with CRA).
Plans priced per company, not per employee — no surprise fees as your team grows within your plan's limits.
Not an enterprise HR suite with payroll bolted on — a focused tool for owners who just need payroll done right.
