Frequently asked questions

What is the 14-day free trial?

You get 14 full days of unlimited access to everything in the FPC plan. We collect a card up front so your access continues seamlessly if you decide to keep going. Cancel any time during the trial and you will not be charged.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your account at any time. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees.

How does this compare to other FPC prep?

Traditional payroll certification prep often starts at several hundred dollars and ships as static PDFs or videos. PrepToPay starts at $19.99 a month, runs in your browser and on your phone, and gets updated whenever the tax law changes.

Is the content current for 2026?

Yes. Every tax figure, wage base, and withholding rule is updated for the current tax year. When the IRS, SSA, or DOL publishes a change, the question bank, flashcards, and lessons get updated in place.

What is the difference between FPC and CPP?

The FPC (Fundamental Payroll Certification) is designed for entry-level payroll professionals and people new to the field. The CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) is the senior credential and requires payroll work experience. If you are early in your payroll career, FPC is the right starting point.

Will I pass on my first try?

Pass rates depend on study time, prior experience, and how consistently you use the platform. PrepToPay gives you the practice volume, explanations, and spaced repetition to put yourself in the best possible position. We do not guarantee a pass, but we built the platform to maximize your chances.
