saloPoint is a one-time licence: KES 20,000 for up to 50 employees, KES 25,000 for up to 200 employees and KES 35,000 for unlimited employees, with no monthly subscription. Cloud payroll tools in Kenya usually charge every month, often per employee, so the total keeps rising for as long as you use them. A full breakdown sits on this page under How Much Does Payroll Software Cost in Kenya.

The best payroll software for your business is the one that calculates every Kenyan statutory deduction correctly, produces the reports KRA, NSSF and SHA require, and that your team can actually use. saloPoint is built and supported in Kenya by Microstation, covers PAYE, NSSF Tier I and Tier II, SHIF/SHA and the Affordable Housing Levy, and is available as a free trial so you can test it on your own payroll before deciding.

You can download the saloPoint trial free of charge and run the complete payroll workflow — employee records, statutory calculations, payslips and reports — before buying a licence. The full version is then a one-time licence from KES 20,000 rather than an ongoing subscription.

No. saloPoint is installed on a Windows computer and runs offline, so payroll can be processed even when the internet is down. You only need a connection to download the trial and to reach support by email.

saloPoint is a Windows desktop payroll system that runs on your own computer. Employee records, salaries and bank details stay on your machine instead of being held on a vendor cloud platform, and there is no monthly hosting fee.

Yes. saloPoint supports multi-company payroll from a single installation, which suits group companies, holding structures, and accountants who process payroll for several clients.

Download and install saloPoint, configure your company details and statutory registration numbers, add employees with their salary structures and bank details, then process payroll for the pay period. saloPoint calculates PAYE, NSSF, SHIF/SHA and the Housing Levy, generates payslips and prepares your statutory reports from the same run.

A Kenyan employer deducts PAYE for KRA, NSSF Tier I and Tier II contributions, SHIF/SHA health contributions and the Affordable Housing Levy, each calculated on the employee’s gross pay within the current statutory limits. saloPoint applies all of them automatically and is updated whenever the rates or thresholds change.

saloPoint generates bank-compatible salary payment files for major Kenyan banks, so net pay can be released as a bulk transfer instead of one payment at a time. Payslips are produced in the same run.

Yes. saloPoint tracks annual, sick, maternity, paternity and compassionate leave with balances, and manages employee loans with repayment schedules and outstanding balances recovered through payroll.

Yes. The Standard licence covers up to 50 employees for a one-time KES 20,000, which is designed for small businesses and start-ups that want statutory compliance without a monthly bill. As you grow you can move to Pro for up to 200 employees or Enterprise for unlimited employees without changing systems.

Each month an employer files a P10 return showing the PAYE deducted for every employee, supported by the P10A schedule, and at year end issues P9 tax deduction cards. saloPoint produces these reports from your payroll data, ready for your KRA iTax filing.

Microstation provides installation guidance, payroll setup assistance, training for your team, and ongoing support by phone and email from Nairobi. Statutory rate updates are applied to saloPoint whenever the law changes.

Yes. Extra allowances and deductions, custom report formats, and integrations with accounting, ERP or in-house systems can be built around saloPoint. Contact Microstation and tell us which reports and workflows your business needs.

Download the saloPoint trial from this page, unzip the file and run the installer on a Windows 10 or later computer. The trial covers the full payroll workflow — employee records, statutory calculations, payslips and reports — so you can load a few employees and check the figures before buying a licence. If you would rather be walked through it, contact Microstation and we will help with the installation.

Yes. saloPoint is sold as a one-time licence — KES 20,000 for up to 50 employees, KES 25,000 for up to 200 employees and KES 35,000 for unlimited employees — with no monthly or annual fee. Cloud payroll tools in Kenya are usually billed every month, often per employee, so their total cost keeps rising for as long as you use them.

The saloPoint Standard licence covers up to 50 employees for a one-time KES 20,000, which works out at about KES 400 per employee — paid once, not every month. If your headcount later passes 50, the Pro licence covers up to 200 employees for KES 25,000 and Enterprise covers unlimited employees for KES 35,000.

A Kenyan employer has to deduct PAYE, NSSF, SHIF/SHA and the Housing Levy and file the related returns even with three or four staff, and the rates and thresholds change often. Payroll software keeps those calculations consistent, produces the payslips employees are entitled to, and generates the P9, P10 and P10A reports — work that is easy to get wrong in a spreadsheet.

A spreadsheet stores the numbers you type into it; payroll software applies the law. saloPoint holds the current PAYE bands and reliefs, the NSSF Tier I and Tier II limits, the SHIF/SHA rate and the Housing Levy rate, applies them to every employee automatically, then produces payslips, P9/P10/P10A reports and bank payment files from the same run. When a rate changes, the calculation changes with it instead of waiting for someone to edit a formula.

Yes. Casual and daily-paid staff can be recorded with daily rates or days worked, their pay for the period is calculated from that, and the statutory deductions are applied the same way as for monthly employees — all in the same payroll run. Always confirm the current rules for casual employment with the relevant authority before finalising a period.

A Kenyan payslip should identify the employer and the employee (including the employee KRA PIN, NSSF and SHA numbers), the pay period, gross pay, every deduction — PAYE, NSSF Tier I and Tier II, SHIF/SHA, the Housing Levy and any other agreed deduction — the employer contributions, and the net pay. saloPoint prints a detailed payslip of this kind for each employee.

Payroll software is the program your own team uses to run payroll in-house. A payroll bureau or outsourcing service runs payroll for you, usually for a monthly fee or a charge per payslip, and keeps the records. saloPoint is the in-house route — a one-time licence, your employee data on your own computer, and payroll processed when you need it — with setup, training and support from Microstation if you want help.

Yes. saloPoint produces the payroll figures and reports you need for iTax: the monthly PAYE return figures with the P10A employee schedule, and the P9 tax deduction cards issued to employees at year end. You file on iTax as normal — the reports come out of the payroll run instead of being rebuilt by hand.
