Georgia payroll
Local payroll, run by an Atlanta firm
Numerawise Solutions is based in Atlanta, Georgia, so payroll in our home state is something we handle every week. Georgia employers must withhold Georgia income tax and file through the Georgia Department of Revenue, report and pay unemployment insurance to the Georgia Department of Labor, register every new hire, and stay current with federal requirements. We manage all of it as a single service, so your filings are accurate and on time.
Led by an Intuit ProAdvisor (Gold tier), we work in your existing platform — QuickBooks Online Payroll, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex — or set up the right one for your size and the way you operate. Because we are in Georgia, you reach a real person who knows the state’s rules, not a national call center.
What's covered
Full-service Georgia payroll
Georgia income tax withholding
Georgia now applies a flat individual income tax rate. We calculate withholding on every pay run, remit through the Georgia Tax Center, file Form G-7, and complete the annual G-1003 reconciliation.
GDOL unemployment insurance
We register your account with the Georgia Department of Labor, apply your assigned UI rate, and file the quarterly DOL-4N tax and wage report.
New-hire reporting
Every new and rehired employee is reported to the Georgia New Hire Reporting Program within the required window, alongside W-4 and G-4 setup.
Direct deposit & pay stubs
Same-day or next-day direct deposit depending on your bank, electronic pay stubs, and a self-service employee portal.
Federal filings & year-end
Federal 941, 940, W-2, and 1099-NEC handled alongside the Georgia returns, with year-end distribution and reconciliation included.
Works in your platform
QuickBooks Online Payroll, Gusto, ADP RUN, or Paychex — we operate in your current system or recommend the right one.
State rules
Georgia compliance, handled
We track and apply Georgia’s current payroll rules so you do not have to:
- Georgia income tax withholding, remitted through the Georgia Tax Center with Form G-7 and the annual G-1003
- Georgia’s move to a flat individual income tax rate, which is being phased down over several years
- GDOL unemployment insurance, including the quarterly DOL-4N report at your assigned rate
- The administrative assessment that applies on top of Georgia UI contributions
- New-hire reporting to the Georgia New Hire Reporting Program
- Form G-4 employee state withholding allowances at setup
- Federal minimum wage application, since Georgia does not set a higher state minimum for most employers
- Multi-state withholding where employees live or work outside Georgia
Rates and thresholds change from year to year. We apply the figures in effect for your pay date and confirm the specifics for your business during onboarding.

Georgia payroll FAQs
What Georgia payroll taxes do employers have to withhold and pay?
Georgia employers withhold Georgia individual income tax and pay it to the Georgia Department of Revenue, and they pay state unemployment insurance to the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL). These sit on top of federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. We calculate, file, and pay each of them on schedule.
How and when do I file Georgia withholding?
Georgia withholding is remitted through the Georgia Tax Center and reported on Form G-7, on a monthly, quarterly, or semi-weekly schedule depending on your liability, with an annual G-1003 reconciliation. We manage the deposits and the returns so nothing is missed.
Does Georgia have a flat income tax now?
Yes. Georgia moved from a graduated income tax to a flat individual rate, which is scheduled to be reduced over several years. We apply the rate in effect for each pay date so withholding stays correct as the rate changes.
Do you handle Georgia unemployment insurance filings?
Yes. We register your GDOL account, apply your assigned contribution rate plus the administrative assessment, and file the quarterly DOL-4N tax and wage report. New employers are assigned a standard rate until an experience rate is established.
Does Georgia have a state minimum wage or paid-leave mandate?
Georgia’s state minimum wage is below the federal level, so the federal minimum wage applies to most employers, and Georgia does not impose a statewide paid-leave mandate. We confirm what applies to your specific workforce, including any local or contractual obligations.
Can you run payroll if I have employees in Georgia and other states?
Yes. We handle multi-state withholding and unemployment for employees who live or work outside Georgia, including registering in the relevant states and applying reciprocity where it exists. See our nationwide payroll services.
I received a notice from the Georgia DOR or GDOL. Can you help?
Yes. Send it to us. We respond to Georgia Department of Revenue and Department of Labor correspondence on payroll matters, and most notices are resolved within one cycle once we have the underlying detail.
How much does Georgia payroll service cost?
Pricing starts at $50 per month plus a per-employee fee, scaled to your headcount, the states you operate in, and the deliverables you need. You receive a fixed quote within 24 hours of a free discovery call.
Can you migrate us from our current payroll provider?
Yes. We carry over year-to-date totals, employee records, and Georgia and federal account details, and most migrations happen mid-quarter without a gap in service.
Do you only serve Atlanta, or all of Georgia?
We are based in Atlanta but serve employers across the entire state, from Savannah and Augusta to Columbus, Macon, and beyond, as well as clients nationwide. We also offer bookkeeping and outsourced accounting.
