The output
What you get: every payslip as an itemized row
Your columns, described in the prompt. Source File tells you which file and page each row came from, and Review Needed marks a value or a row the panel of AI agents cannot agree on, with what to check.

Three steps
How to extract payroll data to Excel
Upload payroll documents
Payslips, pay stubs, payroll registers or provider reports, as PDFs, scans or phone photos. One PDF holding every employee's payslip is fine. Tell our AI to skip a report's summary pages, and it will.
Describe your columns
Gross, each deduction, net, period and reference numbers, in plain words. Or say the job you are doing, a payroll reconciliation for instance, and our AI works out the columns.
Download itemized rows
Excel, CSV or JSON. In the results viewer, one click opens any row beside the payslip it came from, so you can check a Review Needed value, or a sample of employees, without hunting for the document.
Reliability
Why not just paste the payslips into a chat app?
A chat app or an agent reading payslips on its own can hallucinate a value, skip a page of a long PDF, or report success over a failure, and nobody finds out.
A panel of AI agents has to agree on every value
What the panel cannot agree on is flagged as Review Needed, with what to check and where to look, so you check only the less certain values, not every employee's row.
A page or document that fails is reported, never skipped in silence
You are told which file, and you are not charged for it.
A single PDF up to 5,000 pages, a batch up to 6,000 files
Every page and every file read and checked the same way as the first, so a year of payslips goes in as one job instead of twelve, and several jobs can run at once.
The same columns and formats, every time
The same columns, date and number formats for every payslip and again next month, whether it lists PAYE and NI, PAYG and super, or Sozialversicherung, so it goes into your accounting software or your audit file without hand-fixing.
Our AI can stop and ask you
Where your instructions or the payslips leave something genuinely open, our AI can ask rather than decide on its own. You do not have to write a perfect prompt.
Your documents stay yours
Your documents are used to produce your spreadsheet and nothing else. Uploaded documents are permanently deleted within 48 hours, and everything is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Payroll testing, workers' comp audits, certified payroll reviews, or years of payslips in a data room: the fields the work needs, each row traced to its file and page.
HR & finance teams
Payroll from several providers, entities or countries in one spreadsheet with one set of columns: PDF reports from ADP, Paychex or Gusto beside scanned payslips.
One payslip or a whole company's payroll: same prompt
50 free pages every month, then from $12 for 100 pages. You pay for pages processed and nothing else. There is no plan to size and no monthly charge: a quiet month costs nothing, and credits bought for a busy month keep for 18 months. Every pay run's extraction can also be automated through the REST API.
Questions
Payroll data extraction FAQ
Which payroll documents does it handle?
Payslips, pay stubs, payroll registers, payroll journals and the reports payroll providers such as ADP, Paychex or Gusto produce, as digital PDFs, scans or phone photos. Describe the columns you want and every document comes back in them, whatever the provider or country.
Can it break out statutory deductions?
Yes. Ask for the deduction lines you need as their own columns: income tax or PAYE, social insurance or NI, pension contributions, garnishments, or whatever the payslips carry. Payslips from several countries can come back in one set of columns, each country's deductions under the names you give them.
Is payroll data safe to upload?
Never used to train AI: your documents are used to produce your spreadsheet and nothing else. Uploaded documents are permanently deleted within 48 hours. Your results stay for 90 days so you can download them again, and you can delete anything yourself at any time. Documents and results are encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored in the United States. A data processing agreement is already in place for business accounts: GDPR, UK GDPR and US state privacy terms apply with nothing to sign, and a countersigned copy is available on request. Details are on our security page.
Does it work with payslips from any country?
Yes. Layouts, languages and deduction schemes differ from country to country, and UK, Irish, Australian, South African, German and other payslips all come back the same way: in the columns you describe, with dates and numbers in the formats you ask for.
How accurate is it?
A panel of AI agents has to agree on every value. A value or a row the panel cannot agree on is flagged as Review Needed, with what to check, so you check only the less certain values, not every employee's row. In the results viewer, one click opens that row beside the payslip it came from.
Can I use this for a payroll audit or reconciliation?
Yes. Workers' compensation audits, union remittance reporting, certified payroll reviews, payroll-to-ledger reconciliations and due-diligence reviews all start with getting payslip or register data into a spreadsheet. Ask for the fields the work needs, reference numbers and week-ending dates included. Every row carries the file and page it came from, and a page or document that fails is reported, never skipped in silence.
Is it free?
Every account includes 50 free pages per month with full functionality, no credit card required. After that it's pay-as-you-go from $12 for 100 pages, with no subscription.
Is there an API for payroll data extraction?
Yes. A REST API with Node.js and Python SDKs runs the same extraction and returns structured JSON, for recurring payroll work or extraction inside your own systems. Your own agent can also run the extraction itself, through the MCP server or the skill it installs from this site.
