Why trust us

Payroll is something you buy on trust

More than 20 years of Portuguese software

From the people behind InvoiceXpress, used by more than 18,000 companies in Portugal and sold to Visma in 2024.

We eat our own cooking.

RUPEAL's salaries run on Selfcare every month: payslips, DMR, SEPA and reports. Every rule goes through our company before it reaches yours.

The maths in the open, no sign-up

Five free simulators with the Portuguese rules in force: the cost of a salary, net pay, annual leave in the hiring year, per diem and the pay gap.

Today

2010s software, built for hierarchies that no longer exist

  • Annual leave lives in a spreadsheet and a shared calendar nobody updates.
  • At the end of the month, the accountant chases absences, hours and expenses by email.
  • Requests go to a single boss, when people already work across several teams.
  • The month closes blind, with everyone afraid of a wrong number.

With Selfcare

When payroll day comes, the data is already there

  • Each person books leave and submits expenses from their phone.
  • Each team's leader approves, even when people belong to several teams.
  • Payslips, DMR, SEPA and IRS and Segurança Social reports come from the same place.
  • The accountant stops producing data and starts checking it.

How migration works, step by step →

In the demo we run the import live, with your data.

Are you an accountant running payroll for several companies?

The accountant stops producing data and starts checking it. One account, all your client companies, and in each one the payroll, reports and maps ready to review. Talk to us about the partner programme.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my company's data kept?+

In the European Union: the database, the files and the servers are all in the EU. Each company can only reach its own data, and personal data (NIF, NISS, IBAN, salaries) is visible only to people with permission to see it. Security and GDPR →

How long does migration take?+

Minutes, not weeks. The importer takes Excel or CSV from your current system and brings over profiles, contracts, salaries and leave history. In the demo we run the import live with your file.

Can my accountant keep working with me?+

Yes. Accountants have their own profile: they check payroll, add pay items to payslips and manage contracts and salaries, without touching employees' personal data or closing the month for the company. One accountant account can reach several companies.

Do the calculations follow Portuguese law?+

Yes. The 2026 IRS withholding tables for mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores, IRS Jovem, Segurança Social, holiday and Christmas allowances in twelfths, national and municipal public holidays, and the annual leave rules of the Código do Trabalho (22 days, pro rata in the hiring year, days carried over to the next year). Every payslip keeps the version of the rules it was calculated with.

What if I want to leave?+

You export everything (employees, salaries, history) in open files, whenever you like. No lock-in: the data is yours.
