Payroll Forecast
Make workforce costs part of your financial plan.
Build a forecast from people, positions and compensation assumptions, then connect those costs to department and program budgets.
From workforce assumptions to period costs
People & positions
Review positions, planning dimensions and compensation totals across the workforce. Filter by division, program, region, funding source and budget year.
Employee calculation
Workforce assumptions produce period costs, shown here as monthly salary and payroll-tax results. Allocate those costs into department and program budgets using agreed rules.
Review the workforce behind your budget.
The employee overview brings positions, planning dimensions, date ranges and compensation totals into one view. Filter by division, program, region, funding source and budget year to review the relevant workforce.
Plan existing employees and open positions at the detail finance needs. Define ownership and Salesforce permissions so sensitive workforce information stays with the responsible users.
See how employee assumptions become a forecast.
The calculation screen shows monthly salary results and a payroll-tax category with formula fields. Finance can review the period amounts alongside the employee planning dimensions.
Scope salary or hours-and-rate inputs, employment dates, pay rises, benefits, employer taxes and pay-period-to-month phasing around your requirements. Imports and complex rules are configured and reconciled against finance-approved examples.
Connect workforce costs to the financial plan.
Allocate employee or position costs across departments, programs or other agreed dimensions. Define allocation periods, total-percentage checks and how changes are treated.
Payroll Forecast estimates workforce costs; it does not process payroll, pay employees or replace your payroll or HR system. Assess roster imports, field mappings, refresh cadence and downstream exports during implementation.
Payroll Forecast is included in CloudBudget Pro, CloudBudget for Accounting Seed, and CloudBudget for Nonprofits.
