Pay stub generator
Create an earnings statement with 2026 federal and state withholding calculated for you. The preview is free; the PDF costs $4.99.
What the stub shows
Employer and employee details, pay date and period, each earning line with rate and hours, every tax and deduction for the period and year to date, and gross, total taxes and net pay. California stubs carry the items Labor Code section 226 asks for when you fill in the employee ID or the last four digits of the SSN; for New York, add the employer’s phone number, which section 195 of the Labor Law requires.
We do not produce checks, bank logos or documents that imitate a payroll company, and we do not let you type tax amounts by hand: every tax figure comes from the official 2026 tables. Creating a stub for wages that were not paid, or using one to misstate income to a landlord, lender or agency, is against our terms and can be a crime.
Questions
Who is this for?
Small employers who run payroll by hand, households paying a nanny or caregiver, and owners of small businesses who pay themselves a wage. Each stub documents a payment that was actually made.
Are the taxes calculated for me?
Yes. Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and the state items (California income tax and SDI; New York income tax, NYC tax, SDI and Paid Family Leave) are calculated from the 2026 tables, the same ones payroll software uses. You enter pay, W-4 and state allowance details; the tax amounts are not typed in by hand.
How are year-to-date totals figured?
From the pay date, the pay frequency and the first paycheck of the year (January 1 if you leave it blank), assuming the same pay each period. Social Security, Paid Family Leave and Additional Medicare stop or start at their yearly limits.
Why only 2026 pay dates?
Stubs are calculated with the 2026 withholding tables. Tables for 2027 will be added in January when the IRS and the states publish them.
What do I get for $4.99?
One PDF earnings statement for the pay date you entered, ready to print or email. The preview is free; you pay only to download. If a figure is wrong because of our calculation, we refund you.
