FyPayrun · Questions
Asked, and answered plainly.
How FyPayrun works, which tax rules it uses, where your payroll is kept, what Cloud Pro adds — and the things it doesn't do.
Using it
Getting started.
What is FyPayrun?
A payroll studio in your browser for India: payslips, five calculators, six HR letters, and the returns made from saved payslips.
Do I need an account?
No — not for a payslip, the calculators, the letters or one employee's Form 16. Save your employer profile once and it fills in every slip after.
Is there a quick way in?
Load the sample payslip, or start in Calculators and put the result on a slip with one click.
Will it catch mistakes?
Before the PDF it checks for the employer and employee names, the period and at least one earning, and warns when deductions come to more than the gross. A CSV batch also flags a missing PAN or bank account, PF without the wage ceiling, and claims over their limits.
Tax and statute
The numbers, on this year's rules.
Which tax year?
FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27). New regime: slabs from 0 to 30%, a ₹75,000 standard deduction, and no tax on taxable income up to ₹12 lakh. Old regime: slabs to 30%, ₹50,000 standard deduction, and the ₹12,500 rebate up to ₹5 lakh.
Surcharge and cess?
Both — surcharge from ₹50 lakh (capped at 25% in the new regime, 37% in the old) and 4% health and education cess on everything.
PF and ESI?
EPF at 12% from each side, with the ₹15,000 wage ceiling if you elect it; the employer's 12% split 8.33% EPS and 3.67% EPF; ESI at 0.75% and 3.25% when gross is ₹21,000 or less; EDLI at 0.5%.
Professional tax?
Ten states have a flat monthly figure — ₹200 in most; seven have none. Real slabs vary by state and salary, so check it for yours.
Bonus and gratuity?
Bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act, on a wage capped at ₹7,000, from 8.33% to 20%. Gratuity under the Gratuity Act, 15/26 of the last basic + DA for each whole year, after five.
Your payroll
Where it's kept.
Where are payslips kept?
In this browser's library — the latest 50 payslips, and 50 letters. Nothing is uploaded to make or save them.
What if I clear my browser?
The library goes with it. Export a slip as a file to keep a copy, and keep the PDFs you send.
Do saved employees follow me?
On Cloud Pro, yes: saved employees, row presets, your employer profile and letter recipients sync to your account. Without it, they stay on this device.
Cloud Pro
What paying adds.
What does Cloud Pro add?
Bulk from CSV with a zip of PDFs, the register, the ECR, ESIC and Form 24Q files, Form 16 for everyone on a server, AI prefill and chat, and sync.
How much AI?
500 prefills and 500 chats a month on Cloud Pro.
Where does the Form 16 batch go?
It runs on Fyboard's servers and the PDFs land in your FyDrive, to download from there.
Is the batch run on a server?
No — Bulk from CSV reads the file and makes the PDFs in your browser. Only the Form 16 batch runs on a server.
Not yet
What FyPayrun doesn't do.
Does it file returns?
No. It makes the ECR, the ESIC statement and a Form 24Q working statement; you file them on the portals. It doesn't make the FVU file for 24Q.
Other countries?
No. A payslip can be in dollars, euros, pounds or dirhams, but the tax and statute are India's.
Attendance, leave, approvals?
No — FyPayrun works from the figures you give it. For an HR system with those, there's Fyboard People.
Pay salaries?
No. It doesn't move money or make a bank upload file.
Marginal relief?
Not worked out. Above ₹12 lakh taxable, the new regime's tax is taken from the slabs as they stand.
