Paychex Flex plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $39/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Select | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Essentials
$39/monthThe entry tier. It covers payroll processing, tax services, direct deposit.

On requestOver Essentials, this tier adds:
- All Essentials features

People bring Paychex Flex in for running payroll and filing payroll taxes for small and mid sized us businesses, combining payroll with benefits administration and hr services from one vendor, handling multi state payroll compliance and year end tax forms. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Paychex Flex are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Paychex Flex
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $39/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Paychex Flex against the tools that do have one before committing.
Paychex Flex runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Paychex Inc of Rochester, New York. The full record is on the Paychex Flex review.
