Basic is limited to 1 location and up to 10 employees; Homebase defines a location as 'a physical address that is your place of business'. Basic has no live chat/phone support in the plan comparison. Price is per company per month. Only employees paid that month are billed ("Only pay for employees who get paid."). This plan's contractor price isn't published, so we leave it out when you add contractors.

Essentials is the cheapest paid plan, needed for teams over 10 employees or more than 1 location. The Essentials fee is per location ($30 per extra location). Annual billing is $24/location/month ("Save 20%"). Plan comparison shows "Live Support (Chat & Phone)" on Essentials and up.

Tax filing coverage, in Homebase's words: "Automated tax calculation, filing, and payment"; "Payroll is currently available to US-based customers in all 50 states and Washington D.C." Homebase "calculates, withdraws, remits, and files your payroll taxes at the required federal, state, and supported local levels." ("Homebase supports most small-business taxes, but some taxes/forms aren’t supported.") "When an employee works in multiple states, Homebase withholds and files based on the work location and supports state reciprocity when it applies."
