FAQ

Things people ask.

Is this legal?+

Yes. Paystub generators are legal tools used by self-employed people and small business owners to document income. Misrepresenting income on official documents is not — only generate stubs that reflect your real earnings.

Are the tax calculations accurate?+

We use the 2026 IRS federal tax brackets and current state income tax rates for all 50 states. Calculations include Federal Income Tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and state income tax. For complex tax situations consult an accountant.

What's included in the PDF?+

A professional, print-ready paystub with employer details, employee details, current-period earnings, year-to-date totals, full tax breakdown, and net pay.

Can I edit after downloading?+

Yes — for 7 days after purchase, you can regenerate the same paystub with edits at no charge from your email receipt.

Do you store my data?+

No. Paystub data lives in your browser. Once you download the PDF it's not retained on our servers.

Refunds?+

If the PDF fails to generate or has an obvious calculation error, full refund within 30 days.
