HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN PAYCHECK STUB

We all need a paystub at one point or another. It's quite a common question on how to make a pay stub.

We can help with your request on that. The first thing you can do is simply ask your HR department for one.

But you're not really here for that right?

That is why we'll use our very own paystub generator for this how-to and walk you through how you can make your own paycheck stub using our tool.

1. CHOOSE A PAYSTUB STYLE

On our navigation menu, you can hover on the "make a paystub" and you will see a drop-down list.

Choose one of the four pay stub styles to get started.

2. MODIFY STUB SETTINGS

Before you start entering your personal details, make sure to set your stub settings right.

Pay Frequency - How often are you paid? The most common is bi-monthly but feel free to choose what is applicable to you.

Stub Shown - How many paycheck stubs do you want to preview or how many stubs do you need.

Auto Calculate - You can toggle between on and off. If you want a hassle-free experience, we recommend you to turn this on as our tool is capable of doing calculations for you such as tax deductions, annual salary, etc.

3. INPUT PERSONAL INFORMATION

Once you've already carefully selected your stub settings, it's time to fill in the fields with your personal information.

The layout will vary depending on what paystub style you chose but more or less, here are the fields that are important to fill in:

Company Name - Name of the company you're working for (if you are employed) or the company/business you're running (if you are self-employed).
Company Address - Where the company you're working is located.
State - Which state are you located in. Each state has different tax laws so they will vary.
SSN - This is your social security number.
Employee Name - Your name if you are making a stub for yourself and your employee's name if you are making one for your employee.
Income/Earnings - This is how much you earn. Our paystub generator will automatically calculate everything for you if you toggled it on.
- NOTE: Make sure to match your earnings according to the pay frequency you set on your stub settings. For example, if you are earning $500/month and you set your pay frequency to "Weekly", you should convert $500 into a weekly basis.

4. PREVIEW YOUR PAYCHECK STUB

After you've entered all important and necessary information, you can then preview your paycheck stub to check if there are any errors like a misspelled name, incorrect address, incorrect earning, etc.

You can notice that there is a watermark on the paystub you made.

This leads us to the final step.

5. REMOVE WATERMARK

In order for you to be able to view your paycheck stub without the watermark, we at PayStubDirect offer you as low as $7 for a single stub. (We're the most affordable out there)

When you click on the buy button, the image above will pop up. Make sure to use a valid email address as the pdf form of the pay stub will be sent there.

Also, make sure you agree to our Terms & Conditions before you proceed.

You will then be redirected to the checkout page and from there, you can then purchase to remove the watermark.
