Our intuitive interface guides you through the process step-by-step, and our automatic calculations save time. Once you're familiar with the system, you can generate pay stubs even faster, especially if you're creating multiple stubs with similar information.

Post payment, Download the digital form as a PDF format for printing or digital storage or distribution.
What information is required to generate a pay stub?
To generate a pay stub, you'll need the following information: employee's name, employee ID (optional), pay period, gross wages, deductions (taxes, health insurance, retirement plans, etc.), and net pay. You may also add additional earnings like overtime, bonuses, or commissions, depending on the employee's compensation structure.
To reiterate, to create a pay stub, you'll need
- Employee details (name, address, SSN or employee ID).
- Employer information (company name, address, EIN).
- Pay period dates.
- Wage information (hourly rate or salary).
- Hours worked (if applicable).
- Deductions (taxes, benefits, etc.).
- Year-to-date totals.
How do I calculate taxes and deductions on my pay stub?
PayStubsKit simplifies tax and deduction calculations:
- Our system automatically calculates federal taxes based on current IRS tables.
- State and local taxes are computed using up-to-date rates for the specified location.
- For standard deductions like Social Security and Medicare, calculations are done automatically.
- Custom deductions (e.g., health insurance, 401(k)) can be entered manually or set up as recurring items.
Can I generate pay stubs for past payment periods?
Yes, PayStubsKit allows you to generate pay stubs for any past period. Simply select the specific dates of the pay period when entering the pay stub details. This feature is particularly useful for correcting records or if you need to generate pay stubs retroactively for compliance or audit purposes.
How far back can I create pay stubs for?
You can create a pay stub for any past pay period that your business actually paid. Enter the dates of that period and the amounts from your payroll records, and use the tax year that applies to the pay date so the right tax tables are used. Year-to-date totals should match what was really paid up to that point.
How do I customize a pay stub template?
PayStubsKit offers customizable pay stub templates where you can add your company logo, change the layout, and modify the fields displayed on the pay stub. Access the customization options in the pay stub generator tool, choose a template that suits your needs, and adjust it as required to fit your branding and the specific information you need to include.
While maintaining compliance, we provide flexibility to create pay stubs that align with your company's style and specific requirements.
What should I do if I find an error after generating a pay stub?
If you detect an error after generating a pay stub, you can easily edit it by accessing the pay stub in your document history ("My Documents" section) on PayStubsKit. Click on the pay stub you need to correct, make the necessary changes, and re-generate it. Be sure to inform the employee of the correction and provide them with the updated document.
Is there a limit to the number of pay stubs I can generate at once?
Pay stubs are created one at a time. To make several similar stubs, use the Cloning feature to duplicate one and edit the details.
How can I view and download generated pay stubs?
Once a pay stub is generated, it is stored in your PayStubsKit account under the 'My Documents' section. You can view any pay stub by clicking on it, and from there, you have the option to download the document in PDF format for printing or digital storage.
Do PayStubsKit pay stubs meet state pay-statement requirements?
Our templates include the items most state pay-statement laws ask for, such as gross wages, itemized deductions, net pay and year-to-date totals. Requirements vary by state, so check the rules where your employees work. A pay stub is only as accurate as the information you enter.
Can I generate pay stubs for multiple employees at once?
No. PayStubsKit does not currently offer bulk creation. You can use the Cloning feature to duplicate a stub, edit the details for the next employee, and download each one as a PDF once it is paid for.

Where a Good Pay Record Matters
Clear, consistent pay records make a lot of ordinary paperwork easier, for the business that pays and for the person who is paid. Each situation below is one where people are asked for pay records. PayStubsKit helps you keep those records properly. What anyone decides on the strength of them is up to them.
When a Lender Asks for Records
Self-employed borrowers are usually asked for a history of earnings alongside bank statements and tax returns. Keeping a stub for every pay period means that history is already organized when you need it.
Raises and Bonuses on Record
When you give someone a raise or a bonus, the next stub should show it clearly: the new rate, the bonus line, and the updated year-to-date total.
Renting When You Work for Yourself
Landlords commonly ask self-employed applicants how they are paid. Period-by-period statements from your own business, which match your deposits, give a straightforward answer.
Records Your Employees Can Rely On
Employees applying for a mortgage will be asked for recent pay stubs. Issuing a complete stub every pay period means they are not chasing you for paperwork later.
Support Orders Shown Clearly
If you withhold child support from an employee’s wages under an income withholding order, show it as its own deduction line every period, with a running total.
Freelance Income, Organized
Turn irregular invoices and deposits into regular statements from your own business, so you can see what you actually earned each month.
Payroll for a Small Team
A stub for every employee, every pay period, without subscribing to a payroll service.
Ready for Tax Season
Year-to-date totals on the last stub of the year make it easier to reconcile W-2s, 1099s and your own return.
Gig Income in One Place
Combine payouts from several platforms into one statement per period, issued in your own business name, not the platform’s.
Your First Hire
Taking on your first employee? Start with a proper pay stub from the first payday.
Employees on Work Visas
Sponsored employees are often asked to show pay records from their employer. Give them a complete stub each period as a matter of course.
Checking Your Earnings Record
Keep your stubs so you or your employees can compare them with the earnings the Social Security Administration has on file.
Wage Records When Questions Come Up
Federal law requires employers to keep records of hours and wages. Consistent stubs are the simplest way to show what was paid if a wage question or audit arises.
Budgeting from Real Numbers
Net pay, period by period, is the starting point for any budget — yours or your business’s.
Use It Honestly
PayStubsKit is a record-keeping tool for documenting pay that was actually paid, by the business that paid it. Enter real figures and your own business details. A stub showing income that was not paid is a false document, and using one to obtain a loan, a lease or a benefit is fraud.
If you are an employee and have lost a pay stub, ask your employer or their payroll provider for a copy. See our acceptable use policy.
