Cadana’s payroll and compliance APIs are modular building blocks. Use one product or chain them together. Each works standalone — pick what you need.

How They Connect

1

Estimate employment costs

Model compensation costs with POST /v1/tax/estimate — no setup needed.
2

Create persons and populate required fields

Onboard workers with POST /v1/persons. Check what fields each country needs with GET /v1/tax/fields.
3

Calculate taxes

Get full tax breakdowns with POST /v1/tax/calculate — ISR, IMSS, INFONAVIT, and every country-specific deduction.
4

Run payroll

Create, save, and approve payroll runs with the Payroll API. Cadana handles disbursement and FX.
5

File statutory returns

Create filings from payroll runs or provide amounts directly. Track through submission and government acceptance. Filing guide.
6

Remit to government

Pay what’s owed through local payment rails with automatic FX conversion. Download receipts for audit. Remittance guide.
Each step is independent. Enter at any point. If you only need cost estimates, stop at step 1. If you run payroll elsewhere but need filing and remittance, start at step 5.
