Note: We use the price on Deel's pricing page: $29 per employee per month for Deel Payroll: US (self-service). Some of Deel's own blog posts give lower starting prices ($24 and $19 per employee per month), so check Deel's site for the price you're offered.
Note: Deel's product page suggests its self-service option if you pay salaried or exempt employees "in one or a few states" and describes it as "a fast, automated way to handle calculations, taxes, and filings yourself". It suggests its managed option, which has no published price, if you're "hiring across multiple states". Deel's FAQ says it files payroll taxes on your behalf in all 50 states. Ask Deel what each option files for you.

Fine print
- Deel Payroll: US (self-service): Self-service price; the Managed version (with a dedicated Deel Payroll Manager) has no published price. Product page: "Deel Payroll - US is built for companies with fewer than 200 US employees." Off-cycle runs are free: "we do not charge for off-cycle payments with US payroll." Accounting integration listed is NetSuite. HR tools: "digital I-9 verification to facilitate compliant new hire onboarding". The contractor add-on is Deel's global contractor product ("Starting at $49 per contractor per month"). US 1099 contractor handling under US Payroll isn't stated. This plan's contractor price isn't published, so we leave it out when you add contractors.
Tax filing coverage, in Deel's words: "For all 50 states, Deel will accurately & automatically calculate and file payroll taxes with the IRS and with local, state and federal agencies on your behalf, along with necessary W-2, W-4, new hire and termination filings." A Deel blog post (updated August 18, 2026) adds: "At the local level, Deel covers city and county withholding and payroll tax returns where applicable."
