The £-a-week leak
Spreadsheets and per-seat bills are quietly costing you
Two things drain a small business: hours you can't see until payday, and software that charges you more every time you hire. WagePilot fixes both.
Paper timesheets, re-keyed by hand on a Sunday night.
Staff clock in by phone; approved hours export to payroll in a click.
You learn the floor was over-staffed a week later, on payday.
A live labour-cost board shows the burn rate now, while you can still act.
Per-seat software that bills you more for every new hire.
Flat £10 a month per site: staff are always free, so hiring never moves the bill.
A single over-staffed shift a week can cost more in a year than WagePilot costs in a decade. See what you'd save →
One app, the whole shift

Rota, clock-in, holiday, timesheets and a live labour-cost board. No payroll bureau, no per-seat bill, no Sunday-night spreadsheet.

Live by this afternoon
Three steps from spreadsheet to autopilot
No hardware, no app-store download, no implementation call. Most owners are up and running the same day.
STEP 01
Set up your sites
Drop a pin, set the geofence radius, add your team and their rates. Ten minutes, tops.
STEP 02
Staff clock in
They open the app, slide to clock in, and the earnings gauge spins up. No paper, no WhatsApp.
STEP 03
Approve & export
Watch the live board, approve a clean week, export the hours. Payroll runs where it always did.
Why £10 beats per-seat
One price. However big your team gets.
Most rota tools charge per user, and several charge extra again for the time clock. So the bill climbs every time you hire. WagePilot is a flat £10 a month for one site: unlimited staff, every feature, clock-in included.
- No per-employee fees: hiring never moves the bill
- Clock-in, holiday and live labour cost all included
- Honest comparison, dated and kept current
| Your team | Typical per-seat tool | WagePilot |
|---|---|---|
| 5 staff | ~£20/mo | Free |
| 10 staff | ~£40/mo | £10/mo |
| 25 staff | ~£100/mo | £10/mo |
| 50 staff | ~£200/mo | £18/mo |
Per-seat figures assume a typical ~£4/user/month all-in rate (many tools sit £3–£6/user). Indicative, for illustration.
Built for your trade
Made for small UK teams that don't sit at a desk
Cafés to crews on site. WagePilot fits the way shift work actually runs.
UK compliance, built in
Holiday and wage records that hold up
WagePilot is built for UK employment law, not retro-fitted from a US tool. Holiday accrual, minimum-wage record-keeping and an audit trail HMRC would accept, all handled for you.
5.6 weeks, worked out for you
Statutory holiday (28 days for a 5-day week, incl. bank holidays) tracked per person, pro-rata for part-timers.
12.07% accrual, automatic
Irregular-hours and part-year holiday accrues at 12.07% of hours worked (2024 Working Time Regs), no spreadsheet.
Six-year record-keeping
NMW pay records must be kept six years (since April 2021). Audited, tamper-evident timesheets give you the paper trail.
Source: GOV.UK holiday entitlement & National Minimum Wage record-keeping guidance.
Free tools
Free calculators, no sign-up
Quick UK-specific calculators for holiday, pay and labour cost. Free to use — and every one of them is something WagePilot just does for you automatically.
What it's built to do
The outcomes we built WagePilot for
We're a new product, so we won't show you invented five-star reviews. Here's what WagePilot is designed to change for each kind of team. Judge it for yourself in the live demo.
“The live cost board changes how you run a Saturday. You can see you’re over-staffed by 2pm and send someone home before it’s money gone.”
“Watching the number tick up is weirdly motivating for staff, and it means the end of chasing paper timesheets at the end of the week.”
“Per-person software quietly costs a fortune across a few holiday lets. Ten quid flat for everyone is the whole point.”
