G2N Nova review
A global payroll calculation engine for connected HR, finance, and workforce systems.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
G2N Nova is a cloud-based, API-first gross-to-net payroll engine from Mercans. It is designed for enterprises, system integrators, payroll service providers, and organizations operating HCM, ERP, or workforce management environments. The platform calculates payroll in real time across more than 100 countries through a stateless payroll API. Its stated design does not require employee-identifying information for calculations, making it suited to organizations that need calculation services connected to broader HR and payroll architectures.
Its strongest fit is an integration-heavy payroll environment. G2N Nova supports HCM, ERP, and WFM connections, along with finance applications, time and attendance software, benefits systems, and payroll calculation engines. Bidirectional HR and payroll data flows let connected systems exchange information, while payroll reconciliation and variance comparison help teams review differences between payroll results. Connectors support importing payroll records into the calculation process, and the real-time API approach suits applications that need results inside an existing workflow rather than a separate payroll interface.
Pricing follows a contact-sales model, with prospects directed toward getting started or requesting a demo rather than selecting published self-service plans. The product’s listed scope centers on gross-to-net calculation, reconciliation, connectors, and integration; organizations seeking a clearly defined end-to-end payroll processing suite may need to evaluate how their operational requirements map to this engine. G2N Nova is a strong choice for global teams and service providers building connected payroll infrastructure, while buyers wanting transparent plan pricing or a standalone payroll application should consider alternatives with those characteristics.
