Core HR · on every plan, including Startup Program
Team of 10 or fewer? Startup Program is free, forever, no card required. See the NepalHRM Startup Program.
Attendance, overtime and loans need at least Essential; payroll needs at least Business. What an unpaid account keeps above 10 employees depends on when it was created. See the pricing FAQ below.
Why Teams Pay Less with NepalHRM
Pay per active employee
Not per user or per admin seat. HR, managers, and owners who aren't employees use it free - so you're never billed for the people running the system.
No per-module fees
Whatever your plan includes is fully unlocked - there are no à-la-carte feature charges stacking up your bill. Compare the exact modules in each tier below.
Free for teams of 10 or fewer
On every plan, not just the free one. Grow past 10 on a paid plan and you are billed for your whole team from then on, so the step is worth planning for. Stay unpaid and Free keeps Core HR. Scale up or down any month. No annual lock-in, cancel whenever you like.
Nepal payroll built in
On the plans with payroll, PF · CIT · SSF · eTDS and IRD-ready filing come standard - never a paid add-on. Most teams pay less here than for a payroll bolt-on elsewhere.

Biometric devices are billed separately as hardware with a one-time setup fee. Activity tracker is an optional add-on at NPR 250 / employee / month.
Every published plan above is also published as machine-readable evidence: who checked it, against what, and the date it stops being current.
How we prove it →Running HR across multiple companies, 350+ employees, or regulated industries?
Enterprise adds multi-entity support, dedicated success management and a 99.9% uptime SLA, plus chat & messages, GPS field tracking, an AI assistant, two-factor authentication (2FA), and Activity Tracker bundled in rather than billed as an add-on, all at a rate tailored to your scale.
Plans are priced per active employee, not per module. If you are still working out which ones you need, the detail sits on the module pages: training courses and certificates, task management, announcements and employee engagement, staff loans and salary advances and expense reimbursement. Cost a month out first with the free Nepal payroll and tax calculators, download the comparison sheet and module guides, or resell NepalHRM through the Certified Partner Program.
Pricing Questions? Answered
At employee number 11, on a paid plan. Up to 10 people you pay nothing, whichever plan you are on. On a paid plan, add the 11th and you are billed for your whole team, not just that one person: on Essential that is 11 × NPR 60. We would rather you saw that here than on your first invoice. Stay on Startup Program instead and the bill stays at NPR 0 either way; what the account keeps above 10 depends on when it was created, covered in the next two answers. Add or remove people any month and cancel whenever you want, with no annual lock-in.
Per active employee. HR admins, managers, and owners are counted only if they're actually employees - so the people running the system don't add to your bill.
Automatically, and you stay on the same plan as you grow. Your total headcount picks the band and your whole team moves to that rate, so Essential drops to NPR 56 above 50 employees and NPR 54 above 100, while Business steps down to NPR 89 above 100 and NPR 79 above 200. The calculator above shows your exact rate.
Yes, and they're the ranges on the cards above: Essential covers up to 150 employees and Business covers up to 350 employees. Grow past the top of your plan and you move up a tier; past 350 you're on Enterprise, which is priced for your scale. We'd rather say so here than have you find out at checkout.
Both. Teams of up to 10 active employees can run Startup Program at no cost, forever, with no card and no expiry; what it includes depends on when the account was created, and the next answer covers both cases. Every new account also starts with a 30-day free trial of every feature, with no credit card required, so you can try attendance, payroll and the rest before deciding whether to upgrade.
Startup Program is getting smaller, and what an account keeps depends on when it was created, because we are keeping the promise already made to earlier accounts rather than changing it under them. For accounts created before this Free-plan restructuring took effect: this applies to accounts started from Ashoj 1, 2083 (17 September 2026), and accounts started earlier keep their current terms; once the 30-day trial ends, an unpaid account above 10 active employees stays on Startup Program and keeps Core HR at no cost: employee records; attendance, including biometric devices and geo or mobile clock-in; leave, shifts and the mobile app; job descriptions, invitations, roles and permissions, and the audit log; and support, grievances, platform updates and feedback. Everything else needs a paid plan: payroll needs at least Business, and overtime needs at least Essential. Modules you already used become view-only, so past payslips, letters and records stay viewable and exportable, while adding or changing anything needs a paid plan, and employees can still acknowledge policies, reply to disciplinary actions and raise payslip queries; get back to 10 or fewer active employees and every feature returns, or choose a paid plan to unlock its modules. For accounts created after this Free-plan restructuring took effect, Startup Program is the entry step on the ladder rather than a full-product tier, at any team size: it includes the employee directory, leave requests and approvals, and the mobile app, and nothing else, whether the account is above 10 employees or below it. Attendance, including biometric devices, geo clock-in, overtime and shifts, plus salary advances and loans, payroll, and every other module need at least Essential or Business. Prices stay the same either way.
Khalti is live today; eSewa and ConnectIPS are rolling out. Bank transfer and cheque are also accepted. Every invoice is a proper Nepal tax invoice.
A yearly plan is billed for 10 months instead of 12, so you get 2 months free. The price of a term is fixed for the whole of that term.
Prices shown exclude 13% VAT, which is added to invoices per Nepali law.
