Thanks for reaching out to this forum, @Gayleeago,

I want to make sure you're able to get the information about your payroll billing. Currently, all our payroll services has a base price and a fee per active employee you have processed payroll for.

You will see that information in the Important offers, pricing details, & disclaimers at the bottom section of following article:  QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Plan

If you have any questions about the current pricing or your billing details, I recommend contacting our Customer Service Team. They can provide the breakdown of the charge and what the excess is for.
