Three steps to a finished document
The same clean flow for pay stubs, W-2s, 1099s, invoices, and employment letters.
1. Enter Details
Fill in company, employee, and pay information with our guided form. Choose the work state and the correct withholding fields load automatically.
2. Preview Instantly
Review a live preview with federal, FICA, and state calculations before you buy. Switch templates, use the color picker, or adjust pay dates on the fly.
3. Download
Export a print-ready PDF you can share with employees, contractors, lenders, landlords, or your accountant. Spotted a typo later? Correct it and regenerate for free.
Why teams choose this workflow
Accurate tax math, branded templates, multi-stub batches, and no account required to get started.
Smart tax calculations
Federal withholding, FICA, and state-specific rules are applied automatically so every line on your stub stays consistent.
Built for all 50 states
Work across state lines with confidence. Withholding fields update dynamically based on the employee’s work location.
Templates & color picker
Choose any professional layout, then use the color picker to set heading and accent colors your way — and upload your company logo for a branded look.
Multi-stub batches & YTD
Create multiple pay periods in one run for catch-up stubs, with hourly or salaried pay and year-to-date tracking.
Free corrections after purchase
Fix typos and regenerate your PDF at no extra cost. Sensitive identity fields stay locked so your document remains trustworthy.
No add-on fees
Direct deposit, time-off policies, custom earnings & deductions, and state W-4 fields come with your stub — no upsells at checkout.
More than pay stubs
Add W-2, 1099, 1040, invoices, and employment letters to the same cart — one platform instead of a stub-only tool.
Save companies & employees
Optional accounts store company and employee profiles so you can reuse details and download history anytime.
Documents you can create
One platform for the U.S. payroll and business documents employers and freelancers need most.
