The same questions Australian merchants ask before signing up.
MYOB's range starts at $11/mo (Solo) for a sole trader. The cloud plans for a small business start at $35/mo (Lite), with Business Pro above it and payroll as an add-on at $3/emp/mo (Lite/Pro). AccountRight Plus and the plan above it, at $210/mo (Premier), are the advanced line, with payroll and inventory included and multi-currency on the higher of the two.
MYOB's entry plan is $11/mo (Solo). The next plan up is $35/mo (Lite), Business Pro and AccountRight Plus sit above it, and the range goes up to $210/mo (Premier). All plans are monthly with no lock-in contract. On the Business plans, add $3/emp/mo (Lite/Pro) if you pay staff.
It depends on the plan. On MYOB's Business plans payroll is an add-on at $3/emp/mo (Lite/Pro), and on the AccountRight plans it is included. The sole trader entry plan does not run payroll at all.
MYOB Business plans include Unlimited users, so adding your bookkeeper or accountant does not change the price. Solo is built for one person.
Yes, MYOB is a monthly subscription, and there is no lock-in contract, so you can move between plans or cancel at any time. Payroll on the lower plans is billed at $3/emp/mo (Lite/Pro) on top of the plan.
MYOB is Australian-built accounting and payroll software. It lodges BAS and GST with the ATO, reports payroll under STP Phase 2, and runs inventory on the AccountRight plans. It has AI features built in for BAS and bank reconciliation, and support is available during Australian business hours and online.
Yes. MYOB supports direct BAS and IAS lodgement through its ATO connection. GST is tracked as you code transactions and the return is lodged from inside MYOB.
MYOB or Xero comes down to the plan you need and how many people you pay. MYOB's entry plan is $11/mo (Solo), with payroll as an add-on at $3/emp/mo (Lite/Pro) on its lower plans and included on AccountRight. Xero includes payroll and unlimited users on every plan. Both lodge BAS and run STP Phase 2, so use the table above with your own numbers to see which costs less.
MYOB includes multi-currency only on its top plan, $210/mo (Premier). Lower plans do not include it, so a business invoicing overseas customers needs that tier.
Yes. MYOB Business creates quotes, emails them to the customer and converts an accepted quote into an invoice with the details prefilled, and the MYOB Assist app can quote on site. MYOB does not cap the number of invoices you send.
Australian payroll on a flat-fee payroll-only plan for a small headcount, then priced per employee, with STP reporting and super, and award interpretation only through Tanda or Wageloch integrations.
Current offer
MYOB Business Payroll Only is $2 per month including GST for 3 months, then $15 per month. Payroll Only covers standalone payroll for up to 4 employees. Open to new and returning customers in Australia who have not had an active MYOB subscription for at least 30 days. Offer ends 15 January 2027 unless varied.

The same questions Australian merchants ask before signing up.
MYOB's entry payroll plan is $15/mo (Payroll Only, up to 4 emp). A larger team runs payroll inside a MYOB accounting subscription, where each employee paid adds $3/emp/mo to the plan price. The payroll comparison table costs both routes at your headcount.
Yes. MYOB payroll reports wages, tax and super to the ATO under Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 with each pay run. It also handles Payday Super, in force since 1 July 2026, under which super is paid with each pay run instead of once a quarter.
MYOB does not interpret Modern Awards inside its own pay run. Awards are worked out in connected partner software, so the coverage, and any extra cost, is the partner's and not MYOB's. If you are in hospitality, retail or construction, find out which partner covers your award before you count MYOB as a payroll option.
MYOB and Xero price payroll differently. MYOB's entry payroll plan covers up to 4 employees, and beyond that payroll runs on an accounting plan at $3/emp/mo; Xero puts payroll inside its accounting plans and sets the plan by headcount. On awards, MYOB relies on connected partner software instead of doing the interpretation itself. Cost both at your own headcount in the payroll table, because the answer changes as the team grows.
MYOB payroll is for a business that wants its pay runs next to MYOB accounting. The entry payroll plan covers up to 4 employees, and a larger team runs payroll on an accounting plan at $3/emp/mo. Award-heavy employers should note that MYOB leaves award interpretation to partner software.
Yes. MYOB handles Payday Super: super is calculated and paid on the same cycle as wages, with STP Phase 2 reporting sent to the ATO each pay run.
Yes. MYOB includes an employee self-service portal where staff can view payslips, request leave and update their own details, so those jobs stop landing on whoever runs the payroll.
Yes. MYOB sells payroll on its own: $15/mo (Payroll Only, up to 4 emp). Past that headcount, payroll comes with a Business plan at $3/emp/mo, and that route brings the accounting and BAS lodgement with it.
MYOB is an Australian-built accounting and payroll platform. Its range runs from Solo, for a sole trader, through the cloud-based Business Lite and Business Pro plans to the AccountRight Plus and Premier line. Payroll is a per-employee add-on on the Business plans and included on AccountRight. It lodges BAS directly with the ATO and reports under STP Phase 2. Inventory comes with the AccountRight plans, and multi-currency only with Premier.
MYOB was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.
