Payroll Templates
PAYE calendars, payroll checklists, and RTI submission guides.
How to use these payroll templates
Payroll is pure calendar discipline: report each pay run on or before payday, pay HMRC by the 22nd of the following tax month, and hit the year-end sequence — P60s by 31 May, P11Ds by 6 July. The payment calendar template holds those dates; the checklists hold the per-run process.
Templates organise the rhythm; payroll software executes it — RTI submissions must go through software, so these work alongside it, not instead of it. For the rules behind each date, the payroll guides in this hub go deeper.
Frequently asked questions
Do these templates replace payroll software?
No — RTI reporting must go through payroll software. The templates hold the calendar and process around it: payment dates, year-end sequence, new starter checklists.
What dates should the payment calendar carry?
The 22nd of every tax month for electronic PAYE payment (or quarterly if you average under £1,500 a month), each payday's on-or-before reporting, and the year-end fixtures: 31 May P60s, 6 July P11Ds, 22 July Class 1A.
I'm a one-director company — is this overkill?
The calendar still applies: any salary means a PAYE scheme, submissions each payment, and the same deadlines. One director just makes the calendar short — not optional.
