Frequently Asked Questions

How does the per-employee pricing work?

Rates are cumulative across tier bands — not a flat rate applied to all employees. For example, a company with 25 employees pays R200 + (20 × R35) + (5 × R30) = R1,050/month. Use the calculator above to estimate your exact cost.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Setup and onboarding support is included in your monthly subscription at no additional cost.

Is an annual prepay discount available?

Yes. A 10% discount is available when you pay annually. Contact us to arrange this for your account.

Are legislative updates included?

Yes. SARS tax table updates, new SARS BRS versions, and DoL changes are deployed automatically at no additional cost.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. There are no long-term contracts. Cancel before your next billing cycle with no penalty.

When will EQ Practice and EQ Financials be available?

Both are in development. Pricing will be announced when they launch. Contact us to be notified when they become available.
