Not that massive. It is all table driven. Weird things like time worked in NYC but reside in Conn is usually a simple ratio applied to the proper tables.

It doesn't all need to be "for free". People will pay for support/service with things like setup, reporting, table updates and payments.

I would say of all things to have a free plan - Payroll isn't something I would mess with if I was a business owner. Its also an all-or-nothing service since there are a lot of compliance things that need to be done. Its not like if the State government wants reports to ensure compliance that you say "oh I'm on the free plan and don't have reports". Same goes for collecting and paying taxes, etc.

No, it's not an all-or-nothing service.

Lots of small business owners handle the compliance issues themselves. Others outsource them to their CPA.

Providing simple quarterly/annual (940/941) summation reports to assist in this effort is not rocket science.
