How a pay stub works
A pay stub breaks down a single paycheck. It names the employer and employee, states the pay period and pay date, then lists earnings (salary, hourly, bonus) and deductions (taxes, insurance, retirement).
Gross pay is the sum of all earnings. Subtract the sum of all deductions to get net pay — the amount actually paid out: net = gross − deductions. Fill the form, watch the live preview, then download a PDF generated right in your browser.
Estimates only. For informational and personal record-keeping purposes — this is not an official payroll or tax document and does not calculate statutory withholding. Consult a payroll provider or accountant for official documents.
FAQ
How do I make a pay stub for free?▾
Enter the employer and employee details, the pay period, then add each earning (like salary or bonus) and each deduction (like tax or insurance). Gross, total deductions, and net pay update as you type. Click “Download PDF” to save it — no signup, no watermark.
What is gross pay vs net pay?▾
Gross pay is the total of all earnings before anything is taken out. Net pay — your take-home — is gross pay minus all deductions. Net = gross − total deductions.
Is this an official payroll document?▾
No. This generator is for informational and personal record-keeping use only. It does not calculate official tax withholding and should not be used as a legal payroll or tax document. Consult a payroll provider or accountant for official pay stubs.
Does my data get uploaded anywhere?▾
No. The pay stub is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, so employer and employee details never leave your device.
Can I add multiple earnings and deductions?▾
Yes. Use “Add earning” and “Add deduction” for as many lines as you need, and remove any line with its delete button. Empty lines are ignored in the totals and on the PDF.
