Free Pay Stub Generator
For employers, small businesses and self-employed people who want to record a payment they actually made. Enter the pay and deductions, review the stub, then print it or save it as a PDF. Taxes use the same 2026 estimates as our paycheck calculator.
Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server or saved. Please do not enter Social Security numbers.
Employees: if you need proof of income, ask your employer or payroll provider for your pay stubs. A stub you make for yourself is not a record from your employer.
Issuers: creating a pay record for wages that were not actually paid is not allowed. Use this tool only for payments you made.
Check the confirmation above to see the pay stub.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this pay stub generator for?
Employers, small business owners and self-employed people who want a clear record of a payment they actually made: gross pay, taxes, deductions, net pay and year-to-date totals.
Does PaycheckSimple store what I enter?
No. Everything is calculated in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, saved in browser storage or added to the page address. Closing or reloading the page clears it.
How do I save the stub as a PDF?
Select "Print or save as PDF" and choose "Save as PDF" as the destination in your browser's print dialog.
How are the taxes calculated?
Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state tax (plus New York City tax if you choose it) come from the same estimates as the paycheck calculator. They do not replace payroll software. If you run payroll for employees, check the amounts against your payroll provider and your state's rules.
I am an employee and need proof of income. Can I use this?
No. Ask your employer or payroll provider for your pay stubs, or use your W-2 or tax return. A stub you write yourself is not a record from your employer.
