What LeoFolio does
Our tools help employers calculate, prepare, review and organize payroll for one pay period at a time.
That includes U.S. and Canadian Pay Runs with employee statements, employer taxes and contributions, payroll calculation review, year-to-date analysis, accounting exports, saved company files and records designed for bookkeeping review.
Every employee statement LeoFolio produces comes from payroll it calculated.
It is built around the information behind the record.
Connected records
Our products span payroll calculations, employee statements, employer payroll records, payroll review, state wage-statement research, Canadian payroll records, contractor 1099 records and bookkeeping handoff.
The idea connecting those products is simple:
business information should become more useful after you enter it—not disappear into a one-time PDF.
A calculated Pay Run produces the employee statements.
The same Pay Run produces the Payroll Register, Funds Summary and Bookkeeper Handoff.
Its year-to-date totals carry into the next pay period.
LeoFolio is designed to make those connections clearer.
Employee statements from calculated payroll
LeoFolio produces employee pay statements only from a Pay Run it has calculated.
Each statement shows the current-period and year-to-date figures from that run, in one of ten designs with the employer's logo and a live preview.
Standalone statement tools, where any figures could be typed in, have been retired.
A statement should be the result of payroll, not a substitute for it.
U.S. payroll tools across all 50 states and Washington, DC
Payroll is not the same everywhere in the United States.
LeoFolio maintains payroll and wage-statement resources covering all 50 states plus Washington, DC, helping users understand how state-specific requirements and payroll considerations affect their records.
Our U.S. payroll technology addresses federal payroll calculations alongside state-specific payroll rules and, where applicable, local payroll considerations.
That matters because a payroll result should not silently treat every employee as if they worked in the same jurisdiction.
LeoFolio's broader U.S. payroll work includes state selection, wage-statement research, state tax considerations, local withholding workflows, payroll calculation review and supporting source information.
Our state resources are designed to make the jurisdiction visible rather than hide it behind a generic national calculator.
Canadian payroll tools
LeoFolio also serves Canadian payroll-record users.
Our Canada Payroll tools address Canadian payroll separately from the U.S. system rather than treating Canadian payroll as a renamed version of U.S. payroll.
LeoFolio prepares Canadian Pay Runs, with employee statements, along with federal, provincial and territorial payroll-record resources and jurisdiction-specific research.
Canadian payroll involves its own deductions, contribution programs, terminology and provincial requirements. Those differences deserve a dedicated system.
That is why LeoFolio maintains distinct U.S. and Canadian payroll capabilities.
Employer payroll records and Pay Runs
LeoFolio is expanding individual payroll calculations into structured employer payroll operations.
Our employer payroll workflow is designed around a Pay Run: one employer, one pay period and the employees being paid during that period.
Rather than treating each employee record as an unrelated document, the Pay Run brings payroll calculations together into an employer-level record.
That allows payroll information to support:
employee payroll records, employer totals, Payroll Registers, Funds Summaries, Bookkeeper Handoffs, completed payroll history and repeat payroll periods.
Payroll calculations remain tied to the underlying payroll rules rather than being generated independently by a report or PDF.
The objective is to help employers move from:
calculate one paycheck
to:
prepare, review and document a payroll period.
Payroll records built for repeat work
Payroll happens again.
For that reason, LeoFolio is designed around continuity rather than forcing employers to rebuild every payroll period from zero.
Stable employer and employee information can support the next payroll period, while period-specific information such as hours, overtime, bonuses, deductions and other changes can be reviewed for the new run.
The system is designed around a practical question:
What changed this pay period?
That approach reduces repetitive entry while keeping each payroll period independently reviewable.
It also creates better historical records for employers and the bookkeepers or accounting professionals who work with them.
Payroll calculation and paystub review
Creating a payroll record is only one side of the problem.
Sometimes the more important question is:
Are these numbers consistent?
LeoFolio includes payroll-review tools designed to help users examine the calculations behind existing pay statements and payroll records.
Our tools can help review areas such as gross-to-net relationships, earnings calculations, payroll taxes, deductions, year-to-date continuity and payroll contribution limits.
LeoFolio also provides a YTD and payroll-cap checker for reviewing relationships involving payroll limits and year-to-date amounts.
The emphasis is on showing the calculation context rather than simply returning a green check mark.
A document can look professional and still contain incorrect information.
We believe the math deserves the same attention as the PDF.
Payroll calculators
LeoFolio provides a growing collection of calculators for payroll and wage questions.
These tools address practical situations such as weighted overtime, bonus overtime true-ups, shift differentials, retroactive pay, final paychecks, time-card rounding and year-to-date payroll limits.
Some employers need a full Pay Run.
Others simply need an answer.
Our calculator library is intended to make useful payroll calculations accessible without requiring a purchase.
When a calculation needs to become a payroll record, a Pay Run is the next step.
For small businesses and employers
Small businesses often need professional payroll and financial records without needing every feature of a large HR or enterprise payroll platform.
LeoFolio supports that middle ground.
Businesses can use LeoFolio for employer Pay Runs and employee statements, employer tax and contribution summaries, contractor 1099 records, saved company files, payroll calculation review and bookkeeping handoff.
Our goal is to make routine business recordkeeping more structured without making the software itself harder than the work.
Where full-service payroll providers focus on moving money, benefits administration, HR systems and broad workforce management, LeoFolio's focus is the calculation, preparation, review, organization and documentation of business and payroll records.
For bookkeepers and accounting professionals
LeoFolio is also designed with bookkeepers and accounting professionals in mind.
Professionals frequently receive payroll and business information from clients in inconsistent formats—individual PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, handwritten notes and incomplete summaries.
That creates avoidable work before the bookkeeping work even begins.
LeoFolio's professional approach emphasizes structured source information, consistent payroll records, employer-level summaries, calculation visibility and clear handoff documents.
Our Bookkeeper Handoff workflow is designed to organize completed payroll information so that the professional receiving it can understand the employer-level activity without reconstructing the payroll period from unrelated employee documents.
LeoFolio complements bookkeeping and accounting systems rather than pretending that document generation itself is accounting.
Contractor records
Many small employers also pay independent contractors.
LeoFolio provides recipient-copy 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC documents and an independent contractor agreement.
LeoFolio-generated tax-form documents are not a substitute for required government filing.
We distinguish document preparation from tax filing because the two are not the same service.
Saved profiles and business workspace
Repeatedly typing the same company and worker information creates unnecessary work and increases the chance of inconsistent records.
LeoFolio's My Payroll keeps your companies, paydays, upcoming deadlines and reusable worker details in your browser, ready for the next Pay Run.
That makes each recurring payroll faster while you stay in control of the source information.
Where appropriate, LeoFolio uses a local-first approach so that reusable business information can remain in the user's browser instead of requiring a cloud account simply to prepare another document.
Research and payroll transparency
Payroll software should not require users to accept unexplained numbers simply because a calculator produced them.
LeoFolio maintains public research resources related to wage statements, payroll calculations and jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Our U.S. wage-statement research covers all 50 states and Washington, DC, and our state resources identify the scope and sources behind the information presented.
We also publish information about our methodology, verification practices, corrections and payroll calculation changes.
Where payroll rules are uncertain, jurisdiction-specific or outside the supported calculation scope, we would rather make that limitation visible than hide it.
Accuracy before automation
LeoFolio's payroll philosophy is built around deterministic, rules-based calculations.
Payroll numbers should not be invented by generative AI.
When LeoFolio calculates payroll, the underlying payroll calculation system—not a language model—is responsible for the numbers.
The same principle applies throughout the platform:
correct information first, useful automation second.
Automation should reduce repetitive work and make records easier to understand.
It should not replace the source of truth.
Professional records with clear boundaries
LeoFolio helps users calculate, prepare, review, organize, document and generate business and payroll records.
There are also important things LeoFolio does not claim to do.
LeoFolio does not independently verify a person's identity, employment or income merely because a document has been generated.
A generated record is not automatically proof that an employer, lender, landlord, government agency or other third party will accept it.
LeoFolio does not currently initiate direct deposit, move payroll funds, remit payroll taxes or automatically file payroll tax returns simply because it calculates or documents payroll information.
Recipient-copy tax-form documents are not government filings.
And LeoFolio software is not a substitute for legal, tax or accounting advice.
We believe stating those boundaries clearly makes the products more useful, not less.
Built for people who run payroll—not unnecessary complexity
Different customers come to LeoFolio for different reasons.
A small business may need payroll records for several workers.
An employer may need to check a pay statement before issuing it.
A bookkeeper may need a clean employer-level payroll handoff.
An accounting professional may need to understand how a payroll figure was calculated.
LeoFolio brings those use cases together around a common foundation:
structured information, transparent calculations and professional records.
Why LeoFolio
We believe payroll software should do more than produce attractive PDFs.
The records should be understandable.
The calculations should be reviewable.
Jurisdiction should matter.
Repeated work should become easier.
Year-to-date information should remain consistent.
Corrections should not require pretending the original record never existed.
And professionals receiving those records should be able to understand what they are looking at.
That is the standard behind LeoFolio.
