Before you download

BrightPay's new cloud version is the future. If you are a current BrightPay for Windows customer, you should consider moving to the cloud version. If you are a new customer, we highly recommend that you sign up for the cloud version instead of downloading the desktop version.

BrightPay 2025/26 for Windows
Version 25.1 (64-bit)

BrightPay for Mac is no longer available. Mac customers should switch to the new cloud version of BrightPay for the 2025/26 tax year (quick and easy data import is available). Alternatively, Mac customers can switch to the Windows version of BrightPay if access to an appropriate device is available.

System Requirements

BrightPay for Windows

Windows 11 or Windows 10
.NET Framework 4.8
1 Ghz Processor
512 MB RAM (1+ GB recommended)

Most PCs have the .NET Framework version 4.8 already installed. For those which don't, the BrightPay setup program will automatically attempt to download and install it. To install BrightPay on a PC with no internet connection, you may need to download and install the .NET Framework manually.
