Upload your payroll Excel export (.xlsx or .xls). PayrollPreflight checks your OTE and Super Guarantee calculations, and estimates your payment deadline — all inside your browser.
Under the Super Guarantee rules, late or underpaid super can attract the Super Guarantee Charge (SGC), including extra amounts and interest. Checking your figures before you pay helps you spot issues early. Examples below are illustrative only — not a quote of your liability.
Three simple steps. No install and no complex setup.
Export your usual pay run or super report from your payroll software as an Excel file (.xlsx or .xls).
Drag and drop the spreadsheet. Processing happens in your browser. Your payroll file is not uploaded to our servers, and nothing is sent to the ATO.
Each row is checked using the OTE and super amounts in your file against the SG rate used for the check, plus an estimated 7-business-day deadline for your selected state. Green looks OK; red or amber needs your review.
A clear traffic-light style check so you can review differences before you finalise payroll.

Built to sit beside tools like Xero, MYOB, and Employment Hero — as an independent check of the numbers in your Excel export.
Payroll software pays based on how it is set up. It may not highlight every configuration mistake. PayrollPreflight compares the OTE and super amounts in your file so you can review differences before funds leave your account.
Super Guarantee is generally calculated on Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE). PayrollPreflight checks the OTE column in your spreadsheet against actual super paid. It does not automatically detect or strip overtime from mixed pay figures — please supply correct OTE in your file.
Users are responsible for confirming that their OTE figure and OTE source are correct before uploading.
Select your state or territory and we estimate payday plus 7 business days, allowing for weekends and public holidays in that jurisdiction. This is a planning aid — always confirm against current ATO guidance for your situation.

That’s fine. If you keep pay figures in Excel or Google Sheets, download the sample template, enter your pay-run data, save as Excel, and upload.
The payroll file is processed in the browser and is not uploaded to our servers. Employee names, OTE figures and super amounts are not collected by us. For pass operation only, this browser may store locally: your email, activation date, and usage count. Nothing is sent to the ATO. For deadline estimates, the tool may fetch public holiday dates from a third-party calendar service (or use built-in backup dates).
Often it does. PayrollPreflight is a second look at the OTE and super amounts in your export, so you can spot mismatches (for example wrong SG rate or incorrect OTE figures) before you pay.
From 1 July 2026, employers generally need super to reach employees’ funds within 7 business days of payday. Checking your process before then can help you prepare. Always confirm current ATO requirements for your business.

Select your state or territory when you upload. The tool estimates payday plus 7 business days, skipping weekends and that jurisdiction’s public holidays. Treat this as guidance and confirm against ATO rules if needed.
