Free Pay Stub, Payslip & Salary Slip Generator
A pay stub, a payslip and a salary slip are the same document under three regional names — a pay stub in the US, a payslip in the UK and Ireland, and a salary slip in India and the Middle East. Rather than running separate generators for each, this tool gives you a single regional label toggle: choose the wording your employees expect, and the layout, fields and calculations stay identical underneath. It formats the record the way HR and payroll teams recognise everywhere: gross pay at the top, itemised deductions in the middle, net pay clearly at the bottom.

What the Pay Stub Generator does
A pay stub (US), payslip (UK/Ireland) or salary slip (India/Middle East) is the itemised record of an employee's pay for a period, showing gross earnings, each deduction and the resulting net or take-home pay. The three names describe one document type; the required line items differ slightly by region but the structure is the same.
Methodology and formula
Net pay = Gross pay − (statutory deductions [tax, social security/FICA/NI] + employer-specific deductions [insurance, retirement, loan repayment]).
Worked example
- Inputs
- Region: UK payslip; gross pay £3,200/month; PAYE tax £480; National Insurance £256; pension 5% (£160).
- Result
- Total deductions £896; net pay £2,304.
Switching the toggle to US or India relabels the document and its field names (NI becomes FICA or PF) but the gross-minus-deductions arithmetic and the PDF layout do not change.
When to use this tool
Use this for the recurring, per-period pay record an employee needs for a mortgage, visa or rental application. Use the Appointment Letter for the initial contract terms, and the Appraisal Letter when the underlying salary itself changes.
About the Pay Stub Generator
One document, three regional labels
The regional toggle changes the document title and the deduction terminology to match local expectations — 'Pay Stub' with FICA and federal/state tax in the US, 'Payslip' with PAYE and National Insurance in the UK and Ireland, 'Salary Slip' with PF and professional tax in India and the Middle East. Choose the label your recipient — a lender, landlord or immigration officer — expects to see.
Employer vs employee deductions
Employee deductions come out of gross pay and reduce take-home pay. Employer contributions (matching 401(k) or pension, the employer share of FICA or National Insurance) are additional costs to the employer and do not appear as a deduction on the employee's copy. Keep the two clearly separated regardless of which regional label you use.
When you need this document, fast
Mortgage applications, rental screening and immigration filings frequently require the last one to three pay records — whatever they are called locally. This generator is a fast way to produce a clean, correctly labelled document when your payroll provider's export is slow or in the wrong regional format.
