Turn Deel payroll data into R&D tax credit numbers

Claimship reads payroll data for US employees paid through Deel to build the wage expense side of your study.

What Claimship reads from Deel

Claimship reads payroll data for US employees paid through Deel, including salary and pay period history, to build the wage expense side of your study.

This wage data is the largest single input for most companies' qualified research expenses. Claimship uses it alongside the engineering evidence from GitHub, Linear, and similar tools to figure out what portion of an engineer's salary counts as research pay.

Deel is often used for international contractors alongside US employees. Claimship focuses on US payroll data, since that's what feeds the qualified research expense calculation.

The evidence it extracts

US salary data builds the wage expense number

Pay by employee and pay period for US-based staff is the base input Claimship uses to calculate qualified research expenses.

Payroll history supports the study timeline

Pay period data helps place wage expenses correctly within the tax year being studied.

Role data helps identify qualifying staff

Where available, role and department data helps Claimship separate engineering pay from other functions.
