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.
Phone clock-in, shifts, overtime and loans need at least Essential; payroll needs at least Business. The pricing FAQ below covers what happens when a trial ends above 10 employees.
What payroll costs for a team of 20 or 50
Payroll is on Business and Enterprise only; Startup Program and Essential do not include it. Business bills NPR 99 per active employee per month from the first employee, and Enterprise is priced on a quote.

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.
Startup Program free up to 10
A team of 10 or fewer runs Startup Program free, forever. It includes attendance from your biometric devices. Need phone clock-in, shifts or payroll? The paid plans bill per employee from the first, with no cliff and no minimum, so a team of 5 on Essential pays NPR 300 a month. 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.

Pricing Questions? Answered
From your first employee, on a paid plan, once your 30-day free trial ends. Essential is NPR 60 per active employee per month and Business is NPR 99, so a team of 5 pays NPR 300 or NPR 495 a month. Each extra person adds one employee's rate, with no jump at any headcount. Startup Program is the plan that costs nothing: NPR 0 for teams of up to 10, forever; the next answers cover what it includes and what happens above 10. 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; the next answer lists what it includes. Every new account also starts with a 30-day free trial of every feature, with no credit card required, so you can try phone clock-in, shifts, payroll and the rest before deciding whether to upgrade.
Startup Program includes the employee directory, leave requests and approvals, attendance with biometric device connection, and the mobile app, for teams of up to 10 active employees, at no cost and with no expiry. Staff punch on the office device; there is no device limit. Phone and web clock-in with geo-fencing, shifts and overtime, plus salary advances and loans, need at least Essential; payroll and the rest of the platform need Business. When the 30-day trial ends without a paid plan, a team of 10 or fewer moves to Startup Program. Above 10 active employees, the account keeps full access for a 14-day grace period to choose Essential or Business, then turns read-only until a plan is chosen; its records stay in place and viewable. Companies that already used a module before the Startup Program restructuring keep it. Prices stay the same.
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.
