    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on having Xero automatically calculate AEO & DEA as a percentage. We appreciate you sharing how you're currently managing these deductions in payroll.

    As you’ve found, the existing Earnings Order pay item requires deductions to be manually calculated, which we understand impacts your workflows for employees with variable earnings.

    We want to be upfront that there aren't any current plans to develop this in Xero payroll.

    While automated calculations for Earnings Orders aren't on the foreseeable roadmap, we will continue to monitor interest in this space. Thanks for continuing to shape the future of Xero.

    There is currently an option for a DEA to be table based when setting it up, however this doesn't do any of the calculations for the DEA. Instead, they need to be calculated manually & entered as a fixed amount. There is also no way of keeping track of the amounts deducted until the total has been paid within Xero, this also has to be done manually. This can especially be difficult if the employee's pay varies each period.
