Why Payroll.fit Exists
Payroll.fit was created after seeing too many small business owners struggle with common payroll challenges:
→ Confusing tax withholding rules that change every year
→ Last-minute scrambles to meet filing deadlines
→ Overpaying for payroll services they didn’t fully understand
→ Penalties from simple mistakes that could have been avoided
We knew there had to be a better way—a place where business owners could find straightforward answers, accurate tools, and practical advice without wading through legal jargon or sales pitches.
