If I subscribe to payroll and stop using it for one or more months, am I charged the $20 anyways, just not the $4 per employee?

Hello Risho,

QuickBooks Payroll offers the tools and the resources that make it simple for you to manage your payroll. It's great to have you connect with us here for more info about the payroll subscription. Rest assured, I'll be happy to point you in the right direction so you can get back to doing what you love. 

The payroll module is a monthly subscription and this means that you'll be paying the $20/month regardless you use the payroll or not. This pricing model is similar to your regular QuickBooks subscription as you still get charged since you've signed up for a monthly subscription.  You can learn more about the payroll module using this link here. 

In the meantime, let me know if you have any other questions, I'm here to help you achieve your QuickBooks goals. 

We have no more employees as of January 2023. How to stop payroll subscription?
