Step 1
Set up
Salary structures, statutory rates and bands, confirmed by your accountant.
Payroll for Nigeria
Payroll software built for Nigerian companies
PAYE, pension, NHF, NSITF and ITF worked out for every person, with rates your accountant confirms, payslips on staff phones and your books updated when you pay.
Nigerian payroll by spreadsheet is a monthly risk
New tax bands from 2026, pension on basic, housing and transport, NHF on basic, rent relief, loans and unpaid leave: one wrong formula and every payslip is wrong. Keelsum works it out the same way every month and shows each line.
How it works

Step 2
Run
One run works out gross pay, PAYE, pension, NHF, loans and deductions for everyone.
Step 3
Release
HR releases the payslips; staff read them on their phones.
Step 4
Pay
Download the bank schedule; mark it paid and the payroll posts to your books.
