As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create P60s for your employees.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, power-user skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the relevant P60 guidance on GOV.UK and the year-end or employee-summary report in your payroll software.
   2. Export or copy the payroll figures for each employee, including the employee identifier, employer details, relevant tax year and every field shown in the official guidance.
   3. Remove unnecessary personal information from the working copy, keep each employee's records separate, and save the original payroll report unchanged.
   4. Paste the guidance and the structured payroll data into a chatbot with the prompt above, asking it to flag missing values and discrepancies rather than fill them in.
   5. Compare every drafted figure and field against the original year-end payroll report and the current GOV.UK guidance, correcting the source payroll record rather than silently editing the draft when figures disagree.
   6. Transfer only the checked drafts into your payroll software or approved document template, then have a payroll professional or accountant check any unresolved discrepancy before issuing the P60s.

   Prompt

   I need to prepare P60 documents for employees in a UK payroll. Use only the payroll data I provide and invent nothing. Follow the current P60 fields and presentation described in the GOV.UK guidance I paste below, and flag any missing, inconsistent or suspicious value instead of guessing. For each employee, produce a separate clearly labelled draft with employee name or identifier, employer details, the relevant tax year, pay, tax deducted and every other field required by the supplied guidance. Preserve pounds and pence exactly as supplied, keep employee records separate, and do not calculate or alter totals unless I explicitly ask you to check the arithmetic. First return a validation table showing each source figure, the corresponding P60 field and any discrepancy. Then return the drafts in a format I can transfer into my payroll software or document template. State clearly that these are drafts requiring comparison with the payroll year-end report before issue. GOV.UK guidance: [paste the relevant guidance]. Employer details: [paste]. Payroll year: [insert]. Employee payroll data: [paste a separate row or block for each employee].
