Payroll Cost Analytics
Review payroll cost analytics for a selected payroll scope.
Purpose and access
Open Payroll → Reports → Payroll Cost Analytics. The payroll feature and payroll cost report permission are required; CSV export requires report-download permission.
Run the report
- Select the report in the report picker, then set the office and Date range for the period to review. Open More filters and choose Run Status: ALL, DRAFT or RELEASED. Choose Report View: OFFICE, DEPARTMENT, PAYROLL GROUP or COST CENTER.
- Choose Team and Employee as needed; use More filters to set the available Department, Payroll group and Component. Choose All permitted to include all available choices.
- Choose Run, inspect the results and use Export CSV if available. The export uses the selected permitted scope.
What the results show
The report includes: Dimension Type, Dimension, Employees, Gross Total, Deductions Total, Net Total, Employer Contributions, Total Payroll Cost.
Example and troubleshooting
Select a dimension and compare gross, deductions, net, employer contributions and total payroll cost across its groups. If no rows appear, check the date range and scope, then confirm report access. Choose Report office, Team and Employee separately; clear a filter or widen the dates if a valid selection has no records.
Results and limits
Review the summary above the sortable result table and any available charts. Dates are inclusive in the viewer timezone; From must not follow To, and the range cannot exceed two years. If more than 2,000 results match, narrow the range or scope. Export CSV uses the selected scope and requires download permission. The default Run Status is RELEASED.
Interpret the result
Total Payroll Cost is gross pay plus employer contributions. The selected Report View changes the grouping, not the underlying meaning of gross, deductions or net.
