Your gender pay gap report, done properly, with the proof to show for it.
If you have 50 or more staff in Ireland, you publish a gender pay gap report every November. Most people find it takes a few weeks in spreadsheets. GapFile does it with you in one afternoon.
Free to prepare your data. Pay when you're ready to calculate.
Five steps, one afternoon
A capable colleague reads your payroll export, tells you what they found in plain words, asks only what they can't answer, and keeps a note of every fix. That colleague is GapFile.
Bring data
Upload your payroll export as it is. I read it and tell you what I found.
Check data
I group every problem into a handful of findings. You fix them here, not in Excel.
Review numbers
The rules engine works out the seven figures. I explain what stands out.
Write statement
I draft the words from your numbers and your answers. You edit and approve.
Publish
A hosted public page and the official PDF, both provable, and your figures laid out for the Government's Portal.
Ready for the Government's Portal
From 2026, employers also submit their report on the Gender Pay Gap Portal, an online form the Department runs. Once checked, reports there are public, and anyone can search and compare them by county, sector and size.
Every figure the form asks for
The pay, bonus, extras and pay-quarter figures, laid out to copy into the Portal's form, with a walkthrough of each step.
Your statement, ready to paste
The statement you approved, in your own words. The Portal takes up to 700 words; it's the same text as on your public page.
The PDF for your website and board
An official PDF with a code anyone can check, and a hosted public page, for your own website and the people you report to.
Your payroll gives you a number. GapFile gives you the proof.
If your payroll system can work out the figures, that's a good check to have. The figures are one part of the report; here is the rest.
| What the report needs | A payroll report | GapFile |
|---|---|---|
| The figures | Worked out from the payroll data it holds. | Worked out by published, dated rules, with every input traceable to a person and the fix behind it. |
| The evidence | Yours to keep alongside the export. | A frozen snapshot, every correction with its reason, and the same trail carried into next year. |
| The statement | Yours to write. | Drafted from your figures and your answers, for you to edit and approve, then published with the figures. |
See it in 90 seconds
From a messy payroll export to a published, provable report, on the real screens. The words are on screen too, so it works with the sound off.
A quick gap calculator
Curious what a gap looks like? Put in an average hourly rate for women and for men and see the mean gap the way the Irish regulations express it. For your real report, GapFile works it out from every person's pay, hours, bonus and extras. This is just the idea.
Mean gap = (men − women) ÷ men, as a percentage A positive gap means women are paid less on average; negative means more The real report needs seven figures, including the median and the pay quarters
Ireland's pay gap rules are about to get stricter.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) is EU law. Each country was due to write it into its own law by 7 June 2026, and Ireland, like most, hasn't yet. As of October 2026 the Government lists a Pay Transparency Bill as still being drafted, with no text published.
When the Irish rules arrive, an employer with a clean yearly process and a frozen record of every year's figures will have the least to change.
We'll follow the Irish rules as they're published. Until then, nothing in GapFile is sold on the Directive.
Nothing is changed silently
Every guess, fix and assumption is shown, needs a click, and is written to a plain-English Record with who, when, before, after and why.
Figures by rules, not by AI
The assistant reads, explains and drafts. The seven statutory figures come from a versioned rules engine, so 2027 can be reproduced exactly in 2030.
Provable, not just published
Every official PDF carries a code anyone can check. The public page keeps a timestamped copy as proof it was published.
