Pricing
One price per person, and that's the price
No tiers, no 'talk to sales' to find out what it costs, no setup fees. You pay an annual licence per active employee, and nothing else.
Human Resources
Paid yearly: €48 per active employee
For companies that already have someone to run payroll and want to stop chasing the inputs.
- Employee profiles with contract and pay history
- Annual leave and absences booked by the employee, approved by their team leader
- Leave balances calculated under Portuguese law, including carried-over days
- Teams, org chart and directory
- Employee portal, on your phone
- Headcount, turnover and pay analysis reports
Payroll
RecommendedPaid yearly: €84 per active employee
The whole payroll month inside the product, from the inputs to the file that goes to Segurança Social (Portuguese social security).
- Everything in the Human Resources plan
- Payroll with PDF payslips
- IRS (personal income tax) by region and table code, IRS Jovem (youth income tax relief), exemption from working hours
- DMR (monthly pay return) for Segurança Social and SEPA file for the bank
- Allowances, twelfths, remote work and Coverflex on the payslip
- Final settlement on termination
- Annual budget and pay rise simulation
Prices exclude VAT. Licences are annual: you pay for the year in one go, and here you see the monthly equivalent. Active employees count, including people on leave or sick leave. People who leave stay in the history without taking up a seat.

See Selfcare with your own data
Do you run an accounting firm? The price above isn't for you.
Partner firms buy at a reseller price and charge their clients whatever they decide. It isn't a commission or a revenue share. It's wholesale, with a margin that usually sits above 60%, and the firm decides what to charge.
That's why buying directly from Selfcare is the most expensive way to buy Selfcare. And what the client gains by coming through you isn't mainly the price, it's the work: they get the software and someone to run it for them.
- Reseller price per employee, with no tiers
- Free internal use for the firm, to run payroll for its own team
- Guided migration, with the month running alongside the old software until the numbers match
- Twelve months' notice of any price change
Tell us how many employees your five largest clients have between them. It's the only question we need to tell you whether it pays off.
Included in both plans
- Migration of your data, with importers in the product
- Open exports, always: your data leaves whenever you want
- Accountant access, at no extra cost
- Unlimited users: the whole company, not just HR
- The year's legal updates, included
- Email support in Portuguese
- API, webhooks and connection to AI assistants (MCP)
- Test company for anyone building an integration
Questions about pricing and billing
What counts as an active employee?+
Anyone with a live contract that month, even if they get no payslip. Parental leave, sick leave and unpaid leave count, because the person comes back. Service providers you pay through Selfcare count too. People who have left or been archived don't count, and their history stays available to look up.
What if someone joins or leaves mid-year?+
Each licence belongs to a seat, not a person: when someone leaves, their licence is free for the next hire. If you need more licences mid-year, each one is charged for the days left until the end of your licence year.
Is there a discount for large teams?+
There are no volume tiers, because they create absurd thresholds where adding an employee makes the invoice go down. Above 2,500 employees the price is negotiated: talk to us.
Do I pay for my accountant's access?+
No. The accountant profile (payroll, statutory reports and management reports) is included in both plans. Invite them from your company settings. If they're a Selfcare partner, they can even invoice you for the software themselves, at whatever price you agree.
Does migrating my data cost anything?+
No. The importers are part of the product and are in both plans. If you like, we'll do the first import with you during the demo, also at no cost.
Can I change plan or cancel whenever I want?+
Yes. Moving from Human Resources to Payroll is immediate. If you cancel, the licence doesn't renew at the end of the year, and your data leaves with you: exports are always open.
Can I try it before I pay?+
Yes. You have 14 days to try Selfcare with your team before you pay.
Why is the price shown per month if it's paid yearly?+
Licences are annual and paid in one go, but we show the monthly equivalent so you can compare it with what you pay today. The year costs exactly twelve times the monthly figure. There's no hidden discount and no better price for people who negotiate harder.
When do prices change?+
Any change is announced by 1 January and only takes effect on 1 January of the following year. If you sign up mid-year, you already know next year's price at that moment. There are never surprise increases.
