Frequently Asked Questions
Is the paystub generator really free?
Yes! You can generate a free paystub with a SAMPLE watermark at absolutely no cost. No account or credit card required. If you need a clean, professional paystub without the watermark, paid plans start at just $2.95.
Is it legal to create your own pay stubs?
Yes, it is legal to create pay stubs for legitimate purposes such as record-keeping, proof of income for employees, and contractor documentation. Our generator is designed for lawful use only. Misrepresenting income or creating fraudulent documents is illegal.
How are taxes calculated?
We use 2024 federal tax brackets (single filer), current FICA rates (6.2% Social Security, 1.45% Medicare), and state-specific flat tax rates. These are estimates for paystub generation purposes and may differ from actual payroll calculations. Consult a tax professional for precise figures.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to generate a free paystub. You can also make paid purchases as a guest. Creating an account (coming soon) will let you save company profiles, employee info, and access purchase history.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), debit cards, and PayPal through our secure payment processor, Paddle.
Can I create a paystub for a contractor?
Yes! Toggle between "Employee" and "Contractor" at the top of the form. The labels throughout the form and on the generated paystub will update accordingly.
What states have no income tax?
Nine states have no state income tax on wages: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Our generator handles these automatically — no state tax will be deducted.
How is the SAMPLE watermark removed?
Purchase any paid plan (starting at $2.95 for 1 stub). After payment, you'll be able to download a clean PDF without any watermark. The watermark is only on free paystubs.
Can I include a company logo?
Company logo upload is available with paid plans. Upload a JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP image (max 2MB), and it will appear in the header of your paystub PDF.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Paystub PDFs are generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your financial data is never sent to or stored on our servers. Paid transactions are processed securely through Paddle.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, we offer refunds on unused stub credits. Please see our Refund Policy for full details or contact us for assistance.
What does the paystub PDF include?
Each paystub includes: company information, employee/contractor details, earnings breakdown, federal and state tax deductions, FICA (Social Security & Medicare), additional deductions, year-to-date totals, net pay, and optional direct deposit information.
