YTD resets on January 1 and follows the year of the pay date. Estimated history assumes unchanged regular pay and excludes earlier bonuses and deductions. A hire date in an earlier year does not carry those years into YTD. Enter every paycheck instead if actual pay changed.

What a pay stub should show

Identification

Company name and address, employee name and address, and the employee identifier used on payroll records.

Pay period and pay date

The dates the wages cover and the date the employee is paid, which is what a landlord or lender checks first.

Gross and net pay

Total earnings before deductions, every withholding line, and the net amount the employee takes home.

Hours and rate

Regular hours, overtime hours at 1.5× the rate, and the hourly rate or salary the figures are based on.

Deductions

Federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, retirement contributions, insurance premiums and garnishments.

Year-to-date totals

Running gross, tax and deduction balances for the year, which lenders use to confirm steady income.

Paystub questions

How do I create a paystub online?

Add your company name and address, the employee's name and address, the pay period and pay date, then enter hours or salary, pay frequency and filing details. Taxes and take-home pay update automatically; manual withholding is available for actual payroll records. The preview updates as you type, and you can print or save the finished stub as a PDF.

How is overtime calculated on a paystub?

The generator multiplies regular hours by the hourly rate and overtime hours by 1.5 times the hourly rate, then adds any bonus or other earnings. Always confirm the overtime rule that applies to the employee before relying on the figure.

Which deductions can I show on a paystub?

You can list federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security, Medicare and any other withholding or deduction, including retirement contributions, health insurance premiums and garnishments. Common stub abbreviations include FED TAX, STATE TX, MEDICARE, FICA and ERA.

Can I include year-to-date totals?

Yes. Choose a first paycheck, estimate earlier similar paychecks, or enter actual prior gross and itemized tax balances. The current paycheck is added to each YTD line. Estimates assume unchanged regular pay and tax settings; earlier bonuses and overtime are not inferred.
