So, What does everyone pay?

I am curious about what others pay for Quickbooks.   My annual charges happen every March.  I will pay over $2000 this year for the Desktop version. This includes the annual sub, payroll sub and per person fees.

I do not use direct deposit, invoicing, inventory, bill paying, etc.   I print my own checks including payroll.   I just use the calcs.  This is for 3 employees.  I feel sorry for anyone in my situation that has more employees.  The per person fee really adds up.

My price went up $500 from last year with no new benefits to my business.   I don't need any.  I have used Desktop the same way for 8 years while my company has used it for many more prior without a need for improvements.
