In Australia, payroll typically starts with gross pay and deducts to get net pay. But for small businesses, reverse-calculating gross from net can be challenging.
This case study shows how a new reverse payroll system developed by iFour solves that problem. It helps you start with the net amount, then reverse-calculate gross values, and work your way up, making things smoother and more accurate.
Plus, it’s automated – so you save time and stay compliant with ATO rules.

Initial Approach & Where It Failed: They relied on manual spreadsheets, outdated Excel sheets, and gross-to-net systems that made compliance checks with ATO rules time-consuming and error-prone.
Why They Came to Us:
They needed a reverse payroll solution that could simplify compliance, reduce manual errors, and automate calculations while adapting to Australian tax standards.
Client was struggling with outdated payroll processes that made payroll management stressful, unreliable, and prone to compliance risks.
Only had net salary, making gross and tax calculations difficult
Manual spreadsheets led to slow, error-prone work
Systems lacked flexibility — built only for gross-to-net
Constantly tracked ATO updates to stay compliant
There’s no absolute protection for their data.
