Payroll that never
leaves your machine.
WageWise Neo runs a full monthly payroll — PF, ESI, PT & TDS calculations based on configured statutory rules, payslips generated, bank transfer files and statutory returns ready to file. No internet connection required, no subscription, and no third party ever sees your salary data.
Simple payroll software for Indian small & medium businesses.
For businesses with 10–200 employees that want complete payroll without monthly subscriptions or cloud storage.
No cloud. No monthly subscription. No third-party payroll server.
Your salary data is the most sensitive thing in the business. It should stay in the business.
WageWise Neo keeps every employee record, payslip, and statutory filing in a local database on your own computer — nothing syncs to a vendor's server, because there isn't one.
Five things. That's the whole job.
Everything WageWise Neo does falls under one of these five promises. The full detail is further down the page — but this is all you really need to know first.
Employee Management
Everything about your employees in one place.
Attendance
Attendance, leave, and overtime.
Payroll
Complete monthly payroll.
Compliance
PF, ESI, PT & TDS — based on configured statutory rules.
Reports & Banking
Payslips, salary registers, bank files, and statutory exports.
Three steps, from attendance to a filed return.
Attendance & OT come in
Days worked and overtime are recorded per employee for the month, alongside anything new — a joiner, an exit, an increment.
WageWise Neo runs the numbers
PF, ESI, PT, and TDS are calculated based on the statutory rules configured in the system, and the run stays open for review until you finalize it.
Payslips and filings come out
Finalize the run to generate payslips, a bank transfer file for salary disbursal, and the PF ECR / ESI / PT files your filings need.
The full detail behind those five promises.
Not mockups — the payslip and reports further down are the real output of the real program, generated the same way they would be on your own computer.
Manage every company you run payroll for, from one install.
Own two businesses, or run payroll as a service for clients? Switch between companies without logging out — each with its own employees, salary structure, and financial year, kept completely separate.
Your license tier sets how many companies you can add — from one, up to twenty-five for firms running payroll on behalf of others.
Multi-user access with real, granular permissions.
Every person who touches the system gets their own login — no shared passwords, no guessing who ran last month's payroll. Four role presets (Admin, HR, Accountant, Viewer) set sensible defaults instantly, and every single one is individually overridable.
Permissions aren't just on/off — each module gets its own View, Create, Edit, and Delete controls, per user. Let your accountant view and create payroll runs without letting them delete one.

The New Hire Calculator settles salary negotiations instantly.
A candidate names the take-home they want — enter it, and get the gross salary and full CTC that produces exactly that number. Works in reverse too: start from CTC, see the take-home.
The Dashboard puts today's picture in front of you first.
Live headcount, today's attendance, and whatever needs your attention — an expiring license, an unfinished payroll run — surface right up front instead of being buried three clicks deep.
Everything else that ships in the box.
Employee records, attendance, payroll runs and the real reports they produce — every screen below is a working part of WageWise Neo, not a roadmap item.
Easy employee addition
Add employees with ease — more than 50 fields covering full details. Upload and store all documents right inside the employee record for easy retrieval later.
Attendance in a single click
One click on a date generates attendance for everyone that day. Mark absentees and leaves in clicks — pay for each attendance type is configured once in Company Settings.
Leave Register
Casual and sick leave — entitlement, taken, and balance — tracked automatically all year, already reconciled against payroll.
OT Attendance
A separate monthly opt-in per employee, so overtime is only calculated for those actually eligible — logged hours flow straight into that month's payroll run.
Payroll Runs
Generate a full month's payroll in one run — commission, OT, and variable pay folded in. Review before you finalize. Below: an actual payslip this module produces.
Reports
Every statutory and management report a monthly close needs, previewed before export. These two below are genuine output from the Reports module — not mockups.
- Muster Roll (Form VII attendance register)
- Salary Register — full month compilation with totals
- PF Statement & ESI Statement
- OT Report
- Bank Transfer Letter / File
- PF ECR & ESI Return exports, ready for portal upload
Salary Increments
Run an increment across the whole team, or handle one employee individually with their full salary history in view.
Gratuity Register
Running gratuity liability per employee, kept current automatically as tenure and salary change.
Company Settings
The salary structure every module runs on — how Basic/DA/HRA split, and what feeds PF, ESI, PT, and TDS. Set once, followed everywhere downstream.
Departments & Designations
Keep department and designation lists clean and renameable, staying consistent across every employee record.
License
Current tier and days remaining, visible right where you'd look for it — no separate portal to check.
Backup & Restore
Take a full backup on demand and restore from any previous one — your payroll history stays recoverable, entirely on your own machine.
One yearly license. No subscription surprises.
Pay once for the year, install on one computer, and use it — with no internet connection required for day-to-day work. Prices are in Indian Rupees, net.
