Why this domain exists, how the tool works, and what we mean when we say "browser-first." Honest answers to the questions you'd ask if we were across the table.
FyPayrun exists because payroll is the paymaster's job. You sit down at month-end with the roster open — twelve names, twelve structures, the slabs to apply, the contributions to deposit, the stubs to issue. You walk out with everyone paid, the compliance files queued, and the audit trail intact. Most online payroll software fights that metaphor: greytHR wants you to onboard the whole HRIS first, Zoho Payroll insists on accounting integration, Keka sells you a recruiting + performance + payroll bundle.
fypayrun.com is built page-by-page around the actual jobs people walk into a payroll desk for. 'Calculate take-home from CTC.' 'Generate a payslip with our letterhead.' 'Compute monthly TDS under Section 192.' 'PF and ESI for this gross.' 'Build a CTC structure for an offer.' 'Run the muster for fifty employees.' 'Form 16 by June 15.' Each is a specific search; each gets its own page, framed in the language of the query, with the rest of the workshop quietly available when the work grows.
A paymaster's office isn't an HR platform. It's a focused space where the math reconciles, the stubs ship, and the compliance files file — without you fighting the tool.
Most of FyPayrun runs entirely in your browser. The salary calculator, the payslip generator, the TDS worksheet, the PF/ESI math, the CTC builder, the bonus + gratuity formulas — all on-device, processed in WebAssembly the moment the inputs land in the workspace. Payroll data is the kind of data that shouldn't sit on someone else's server unless it absolutely has to, so by default it doesn't. The roster persists in browser storage. The structures persist in browser storage. Refreshing clears state if that's what you want.
A handful of operations need cloud infrastructure — FyDrive sync, backend Form 16 batches, cloud output storage, and FyAI prefill or assistant calls. Those run through the FyTools backend using the same file upload, drive resolver, and audit path as the rest of Fyboard.
Every single-employee calculator and the single-stub payslip generator is free forever. No signup, no per-employee fee, no "upgrade to see the new regime" wall. If you're a founder paying five contractors, a freelance bookkeeper running payroll for one or two clients, or an NGO finance lead with a stable 12-employee roster, the free tier is the actual product and you'll never need to upgrade. Batch payroll caps at 25 employees on Free — generous for the small-employer use case.
Cloud Pro at $9/mo adds the cloud layer — FyDrive sync for drafts and generated outputs, backend Form 16 batches, cloud output storage, and FyAI payroll/letter assists.
Team at $19/mo per seat adds org-subject billing, shared workspace access through Fyboard organization permissions, higher cloud batch limits where supported, and priority email response targets.
FyPayrun is one of five focused fronts for the FyTools utility suite. The full toolkit lives at fy.tools, and the broader Fyboard platform — contracts, knowledge, automation, payroll — at fyboard.com.
Same team. Same browser-first architecture. Same pricing model. Different doors — so the search intent and the landing always match up. FyPayrun on fypayrun.com; the whole toolkit on fy.tools; the broader platform on fyboard.com.
