Payroll Services in Mexico: what you get and how it works
We manage the complete payroll cycle: CFDI receipts stamped through the SAT, IMSS, INFONAVIT, ISR, state payroll taxes, statutory payments, employee movements, reporting and terminations. Finance receives employee-level cost visibility, and HR gains a local administration team that keeps the payroll calendar moving.
Our payroll team operates the full monthly cycle for US and international companies: variable pay, overtime, shift premiums, absences, vacation liabilities, aguinaldo accruals, PTU profit sharing and terminations calculated to the finiquito or liquidación standard that applies.
You get a single monthly invoice, a per-employee cost breakdown your finance team can reconcile, and records that stand up in an audit or a labor tribunal.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask us before they commit. If yours is not here, send it and a Mexico specialist answers it directly.
Ask a Mexico SpecialistWhat does payroll outsourcing in Mexico include?+
Payroll calculation and processing, CFDI payroll receipts stamped through the SAT, IMSS and INFONAVIT enrollment and monthly filings, ISR withholding, state payroll tax, aguinaldo, vacation premium and PTU profit-sharing calculations, plus terminations and severance math.
Can you run payroll if we already have a Mexican entity?+
Yes. Payroll and HR administration is a standalone service. You keep your entity and remain the legal employer; we operate the payroll calendar, filings and employee administration on your behalf.
How often is payroll paid in Mexico?+
Most companies pay biweekly (catorcenal or quincenal). Operators paying weekly is also common in manufacturing. We match your existing calendar rather than forcing ours.
What is the true loaded cost of an employee in Mexico?+
Base salary plus employer social contributions, INFONAVIT, payroll tax, statutory bonuses and vacation liabilities. The loaded factor varies by salary level and state; we model it per role before you hire.
Are we locked into a contract?+
No. Payroll administration runs month to month with no minimum headcount and no exit fee. Your data and records are yours and are handed over on request.

Every figure on this page is modeled from official Mexican sources, so procurement, finance and legal can trace it back to the law and the published data. Before anything reaches a budget, a quote or a board paper, a Mexico specialist rebuilds it on your roles, your states and your benefit package.
