About
Payroll built for South African small business.
Paying people properly shouldn't require an accountant, an expensive bureau or a wall of spreadsheets. We built OrigamiPay so any owner can run compliant payroll with confidence.
Running payroll in South Africa means getting PAYE brackets and rebates right, tracking the UIF ceiling, working out SDL, issuing a payslip that meets the BCEA, and filing an EMP201 with SARS every month. Get it wrong and the penalties are real.
For a small team, that’s a lot of risk to carry on a spreadsheet — and a lot of money to hand to a bureau. OrigamiPay closes that gap: the statutory maths is built in and kept current, so the right numbers come out automatically and your monthly declaration lands pre-filled.
The result is payroll that feels less like admin and more like pressing a button: compliant, affordable, and quick enough that it never eats your week.
Compliance-first
PAYE, UIF, SDL, EMP201 and BCEA-compliant payslips are the foundation, not an afterthought. We keep the tax tables current so you don't have to.
Refreshingly simple
Add an employee, run payroll, hand over a payslip. No training, no consultant, no spreadsheet gymnastics — most owners are paying their team within minutes.
