While MYOB Payroll has served customers well over the years, the general needs of our customers and industry have changed – which has changed the way we develop and support software as well.   

We’re committed to delivering solutions that provide users with the greatest value, improve business outcomes and enable a better connection between accountants, bookkeepers and businesses. 

Because of this, we’ve made the decision to prioritise our development resources into our MYOB Business Payroll product. As a result, we’re decommissioning MYOB Payroll from 1 April 2026. 

From 1 April 2026, MYOB will no longer provide features, patches, compliance updates or product support for MYOB Payroll. This includes updates for any future Windows operating systems. 

You’ll still have access to your historical data on the desktop where you have MYOB Payroll installed. However, we’ll no longer be able to provide support, and the product won’t comply with any IR regulations from 1 April, 2026.

View our guide to see the full list of what data gets migrated.

Migration is a complimentary service offered by MYOB. 

The process for data migration may take up to two weeks. 

The actual data migration will be scheduled to take place following your final pay run so that your data will be ready in time for your next pay run.  

The process of migrating your data involves a few steps but is designed to be as stress-free and as streamlined as possible: 

• Call with a Migration Consultant to explain the process of the migration and to ensure your payroll data set up is suitable for migration. We’ll also go over the process for saving a back-up and sending this to our team. 

• Once our team have received your backup file, this needs to be reviewed to ensure it meets requirements. 

• Your data is migrated into your new software. 

• Your Migration Consultant will run a session with you to show you the setup of your new file and employee data, onboard you to Payday filing and guide you through how to process a pay run. 

The service is provided free of charge.
