Ethiopian payroll software, inspired by the Nile.
NYLOS Payroll
The mistake you won't see until it costs you.
In Ethiopian payroll, an error stays invisible — until the penalty notice, the audit, the backdated rule you missed. NYLOS applies MOR, ERCA and the Labor Proclamation correctly on every run, so there's nothing waiting to surface. And 14 more modules when you're ready to grow.
Tax tables current as of July 2025.

The people who run payroll for a living run it on NYLOS.
A payroll-services firm uses NYLOS as the backbone for delivering payroll to its own clients — and a multi-site parking operator automated payroll across every site on the platform. Proof it holds up under specialists' scrutiny, and at scale across locations.
Clinics, schools, NGOs, microfinance, manufacturers and trading firms — every org with employees needs payroll done right.
Read the case studiesWhy NYLOS Payroll
The substance foreign tools can't match.
QuickBooks, BambooHR and Workday were built for someone else's labor and tax regime. NYLOS Payroll treats Labor Proclamation 1156/2019, MOR income tax rules and POESSA/PSSSA pension reporting as the spec — not as customizations bolted on by a partner.
Ethiopian income tax (PAYE)
Bracket-based PAYE computed inline with gross-to-net — including the 2025 revisions effective Hamle 1, 2017 EFY. Never a post-hoc adjustment.
Tax tables current as of July 2025.
Pension, split correctly
Employee and employer pension contributions calculated at the rates Ethiopian law requires, with POESSA- and PSSSA-ready monthly summary exports.
EFY & Amharic payslips
Payslips render in dual Ethiopian Fiscal Year and Gregorian formats with Amharic labels — distributed through the employee self-service portal.
Filing-ready statutory exports
PAYE, pension and cost-sharing summaries export in the formats MOR, POESSA/PSSSA and the labor office accept. No spreadsheet reshaping before submission.
Audit-grade trail
Every payroll run, override, approval and final settlement is logged with who, when and why — one click away years later, in an audit or a labor-court matter.
Bank files & biometric attendance
One-click bank-file exports for CBE, Awash, Dashen, Abyssinia and others; attendance flows in automatically from ZKTeco, Suprema and Anviz devices.
The full platform
Payroll is just the start. NYLOS grows into your whole operation.
Once payroll runs on NYLOS, finance, inventory, fleet, property and 11 more modules are already there to switch on — one database, no integration layer, the same Birr-priced, Ethiopia-built platform.
