CA sdi. Needs update

They have not yet updated the current California SDI percentage of 1.2%

Great Reference

Love this app. Have been using it for a few years now. My hours are never the same at work. I do work a lot of OT, so this helps give an accurate estimate of my check will look like with 401k contributions and post tax deductions. But only if the settings are set correctly. I would give 5 stars if they added a section for bonuses.

Great payroll app

I’ve used it for over 10 years. I liked the simple interface which gets the job done. I keep multiple profiles for employees, with multiple deductions, i.e. health insurance and 401k deductions. Calculations are always spot on. Wish I could print checks and W2s from the app.

App crashes

App keeps crashing

Bug

App is great have been using for years, but only recently have I found a bug in the state tax calculations. If your check grosses over 3500$ it will not calculate any state tax at all

Payroll Guru

Don't use. They have not calculated the social security deduction correctly. If your paying a fee for the program they should get it right. There is a maximum which they have not taken into account.

I purchased the program and expected that they would have used the correct calculation for social security

I paid for this service and now the app doesn’t work. I want my 4.99 back or the app fixed.

Great app

This app is so helpful to me. I am able plan out my bills, money to save, etc. It has become one of the most important apps on my phone.
The customer service team is great. There was an issue with the app not calculating my state tax deductions, and I emailed them, took a little bit of time, but they got it resolved, and the app is back to being accurate as always.

It’s worth it if you learn to use it

I’ve been using this app for 3 years now and it has always been of great help to calculate my checks.
It may be off by no more than $10 but that has more to do with jobs take a few more dollars here and there for taxes than the app. Best advice is to download this app and make sure you put in any additional taxes or withholdings in your settings to get an accurate amount. Only thing I wish this app had was holiday pay section. It would just make it a little easier to calculate checks if holiday pay was an option.

Excellent Customer Service

I have used this app for a few years and recently had an issue after an update. I messaged their customer service team and they figured out what the problem was quickly and kept me in the loop every step of the way! So thankful for the support and quick response! Excellent app and wonderful customer service!

Rip off

How can you not add decimals for your hours worked? I’m trying to get down the dollars and cents over here.

Great app for small employer

I pay my nanny each week using this app. Makes calculating withholding easy! Thanks!

Good

Wish that it saved data to be exported. Would make it great.

Fix after update

New update makes iPhone pro max all black text can’t see nothing

This is the app.

This is a great app and works seamlessly across all platforms. I love it.

Great when it worked

It worked for a day after I bought it and now crashes instantly when I try to open it.

Doesn’t save entries

App needs to save or export entries and do a YTD.

Please update WA State

Washington state now collects tax for WAPFML (Washington paid family medical leave). This applies to all employees. Please update! Useless without this change.
