A complete US paystub includes: employer name + address, employee name + address, pay period start/end, pay date, hours worked, hourly rate, gross pay, federal income tax withholding, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), state income tax, any pre/post-tax deductions, year-to-date totals, and net pay.
PayStubr's template fills every one of these fields and calculates the withholdings automatically using 2026 IRS tax brackets.
Free Word and Excel templates don't do the math. You have to look up federal brackets, your state's income tax, the Social Security wage base, and the additional Medicare tax threshold — and re-do it for every pay period. PayStubr handles all of that in real time.
Yes. Each PDF download is $4.99 and there's no limit on how many you can generate. The form remembers your company details so subsequent stubs only need employee + period inputs.
Build your first paystub in under a minute. Pay only if you love it.
