How to extract payroll data to Excel
1. Upload payroll documents
Payslips, pay stubs, registers, or provider reports — PDFs, scans, or photos. A whole payroll run in one batch is fine.
2. Describe your columns
Gross, each deduction, net, period, reference numbers — in plain language. Country-specific schemes are read in context, not configured.
3. Download itemized rows
Excel, CSV, or JSON with a source-file reference per row and Review Needed flags on anything worth a human look.
Built for the messiness of real payroll paperwork
Gross to net, itemized
Gross pay, each statutory deduction as its own column, employer costs, and net pay — the breakdown your reconciliation or audit actually needs.
Any country's payslips
Layouts, languages, and deduction schemes vary by country — PAYE, NI, superannuation, CPF, Sozialversicherung. The AI reads them in context, no per-country templates.
Audit-ready output
Reference numbers, week-ending dates, and a source-file column on every row — plus Review Needed flags naming anything a human should verify.
Built for sensitive documents
Payroll files are PII-heavy. Uploads are encrypted, never used for AI training, and auto-deleted within 24 hours of processing.
A whole payroll run at once
Up to 6,000 files per batch — every employee's payslip for the month, or a year of registers — with typical processing of 1–8 seconds per page.
API and SDKs
The same extraction over a REST API with Python and Node.js SDKs returning structured JSON — for recurring payroll and audit workflows.

Payroll data extraction FAQ
Which payroll documents does it handle?+
Payslips, pay stubs, payroll registers, payroll journals, and payroll reports exported from providers like ADP, Paychex, or Gusto — as digital PDFs, scans, or photos. There are no templates: describe the columns you want and the AI reads each document's actual layout, 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 documents carry. Country-specific deduction schemes are read in context rather than mapped against a fixed list.
Is payroll data safe to upload?+
Payroll documents are among the most sensitive files businesses handle, and the platform is built accordingly: uploads are encrypted, never used for AI training, and automatically deleted within 24 hours of processing. Generated spreadsheets auto-delete after 90 days. Details are on our security page.
Does it work with payslips from any country?+
Yes — payslip layouts, languages, and deduction schemes vary enormously by country, which is exactly why template-based tools struggle with them. UK, Irish, Australian, South African, German, and many other formats are processed the same way: describe your columns and the AI reads the layout in front of it.
How accurate is it?+
Extraction runs on a purpose-built, multi-model AI pipeline that has processed over 1 million pages. Anything the AI can't read confidently — a faint scan, an ambiguous figure — is flagged with a Review Needed warning naming the field and the file, so audits and reconciliations aren't built on silent guesses.
Can I use this for a payroll audit or reconciliation?+
That's one of the most common uses: workers' compensation audits, union remittance reporting, certified payroll reviews, and payroll-to-ledger reconciliations all start with getting payslip or register data into a spreadsheet. Ask for the fields your audit needs — including reference numbers and week-ending dates — and every row keeps a source-file reference.
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 $25 for 250 pages, with no subscription.
Is there an API for payroll data extraction?+
Yes — a REST API with Python and Node.js SDKs runs the same extraction and returns structured JSON, for recurring payroll workflows or embedding extraction in your own systems.
