About Pay-Stubs.net
U.S. payroll documentation tools built for accuracy and clarity — serving employers, contractors, and HR teams since 2013.
Our Story
Pay-Stubs.net started with a simple frustration: creating a professional pay stub should not require expensive software or hours of manual math.
Since 2013, we have helped businesses generate payroll and tax documents with real federal and state tax logic — not just templates. What began as a pay stub tool has grown into a full U.S. document platform covering W-2s, 1099s, 1040-related forms, invoices, and employment letters for teams across all 50 states.
Hundreds of thousands of documents have been produced through our calculation workflows. We stay focused on one outcome: payroll documents you can review, trust, and download in minutes. See how we calculate taxes on our methodology page and how we maintain guides under our editorial standards.
Our Mission
To make professional payroll documentation accessible by combining accurate tax calculations with an interface anyone can use — no accounting degree required.
Our Vision
A world where every employer, contractor, and employee can produce clear payroll records instantly — bridging complex tax rules and everyday business needs.
Why people trust us
Clear practices beat vague marketing claims.
Published methodology
We explain how federal withholding, FICA, and state rules feed the live preview — and we point to official sources.
Editorial standards
Guides include review dates, tax year labels, and a correction policy so educational content stays accountable.
Official sources
Tax and payroll guides cite IRS, SSA, and state labor or revenue departments where rules are summarized.
Core values
The principles that guide every feature we ship and every calculation we run.
Accuracy
Tax rules change. Our engine stays current with federal withholding tables and state-specific logic so your documents reflect real numbers.
Simplicity
Complex payroll math belongs behind the scenes. You see a clean form, a live preview, and a finished document — nothing more.
Accessibility
Professional payroll tools should not be locked behind enterprise pricing. We build for solo operators and growing teams alike.
Transparency
Every deduction on your stub is visible before you download. No hidden fees, no surprise line items, no opaque calculations.
Innovation
From live HTML previews to dynamic state field loading, we improve the generator experience without sacrificing reliability.
Support
Real people answer real questions. Our support team understands payroll workflows because they work with them every day.
Built on trust
Three pillars that every payroll document platform must get right.
Security
All connections are encrypted. Documents are processed through secure infrastructure with access controls at every layer. We treat payroll data with the seriousness it deserves.
Privacy
Your employee and company information is never sold to third parties. We collect only what is needed to generate your document and follow strict data-retention policies.
Accuracy
Our calculation engine applies federal withholding methodology and state-specific rules maintained against current tax-year tables. Preview before you download — every time.
