PayStubGo FAQs

A paystub is a document that shows pay details for a specific pay period, including earnings, deductions, taxes, YTD values, and net pay. Some users also call it a paycheck stub, pay slip, check stub, or earnings statement.

In most everyday searches, paystub and paycheck stub mean the same thing. Both usually refer to the document that explains how gross pay, deductions, taxes, and net pay are shown for a pay period.

PayStubGo is designed for users who need to create paystub records from information they provide, including small businesses, contractors, self-employed workers, and people organizing pay documentation. All information should be accurate and reviewed before export.

You should have company details, employee details, pay period dates, pay date, earnings, deductions, tax fields, YTD values if needed, and net pay information. The more accurate your inputs are, the cleaner your final paystub will be.

You enter the required pay details, choose or preview a layout, review earnings and deductions, check editable tax and YTD values, and continue to PDF export when the paystub looks right.

Yes. PayStubGo is built around a preview-first flow so you can review the paystub layout and values before receiving or exporting the final PDF.

Yes. You can edit fields such as company details, employee details, earnings, deductions, tax estimates, pay period information, and YTD values before export.

Yes. PayStubGo is intended to support paystub creation when users need more than one pay period or more than one record. Review each paystub carefully before export.

Yes. Your first pay stub each year is free on any template, delivered as a PDF to your email. After that you pay per stub, packs cost less per stub, and the price is shown before checkout.

No monthly subscription is required for standard paystub creation. PayStubGo is designed around simple paystub creation and export, not a full payroll software subscription.

PayStubGo is designed so users can preview and review their paystub before continuing with a final export or checkout flow.

No. The only extra is the optional deposit slip page: $1.00 on smaller orders and included free from 3 stubs. Every template, your logo, the tax lines and the year-to-date totals are included in the stub price, and the full total is shown before you pay.

Yes. PayStubGo lets you compare available paystub templates and select a layout before final export.

You can preview available layouts before final export. If a layout does not fit your record, choose another available template and review the result again.

PayStubGo templates are designed to present pay details clearly, including employer details, employee details, pay period, earnings, deductions, taxes, YTD values, and net pay.

The main PayStubGo flow focuses on creating a customized paystub from user-entered information. A separate downloadable sample template page may be added for demo files and sample layouts.

Yes. Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state income tax are worked out for you from the pay, the pay schedule, the filing status and the state, using the IRS Publication 15-T method and each state's own withholding tables. Every tax line stays editable before you download, so you can match a real paycheck. The figures show what a payroll would withhold; PayStubGo is not payroll software or tax advice.

Yes. PayStubGo supports state-related paystub fields where applicable. Some states have no state wage income tax, but federal tax fields, Social Security, Medicare, and custom deductions may still apply.

Yes. Users can review and enter deduction information based on their own records. Custom deductions should be accurate and supported by the user’s pay situation.

Yes. PayStubGo supports YTD values so users can review year-to-date gross pay, deductions, tax fields, and net pay before export.

Yes. After reviewing your information and completing the eligible export flow, you can download the paystub as a PDF.

PayStubGo is designed to support email delivery after eligible export or checkout. Always enter the correct email address and check spam or promotions folders if an email is missing.

First check spam, junk, and promotions folders. Then confirm the email address used during the export flow. If the email still does not arrive, contact support with your order or paystub details.

Most users can print a PDF paystub on standard paper. Use your printer settings carefully and review the PDF before printing.

If you notice it before exporting, edit the fields and preview again. If you notice it after checkout, open the order in your account and choose Correct this stub — a typo in your own details can be corrected free within 14 days. If the part that is wrong is an amount or a pay date, ask us to review the order instead.

Yes, within 14 days of your order, and at no extra charge. Open the order in your account and choose Correct this stub. A correction fixes your own typo in the same document: names, employer details, ID numbers and addresses. Amounts, pay dates and pay periods cannot be changed this way, because changing those produces a different document rather than the same one spelled correctly; if one of those is wrong, ask us to review the order and we will look at it. Your original paystub is never overwritten, and a correction does not use up your first-stub credit. After 14 days you can still ask us to review the order.

Refund handling should follow the PayStubGo refund policy. Contact support with your email, order details, and the issue so it can be reviewed.

Use the Contact page for questions about downloads, email delivery, payment, refunds, corrections, or account-related issues.

A paystub generator can be used to create a paystub record from information the user provides, but the user is responsible for accuracy and lawful use. Do not use PayStubGo to create false, misleading, or fraudulent documents.

Requirements vary by employer, lender, landlord, agency, or institution. Always confirm what documents are accepted and make sure any paystub you create is accurate and supported by real records.

No. PayStubGo should not be used to create fake income records, misrepresent employment, mislead lenders or landlords, or commit fraud. Use the tool only for accurate and responsible documentation.

No. PayStubGo is an online paystub generator, not payroll software, legal advice, tax advice, or an employer payroll system.

Yes. Review names, addresses, employee details, company information, pay period dates, and payment details carefully before export.

Yes. After export, keep your PDF in a safe location for your records. If email delivery is enabled, also check that you received the correct file.

PayStubGo is being built for desktop and mobile use. Some preview and editing flows may be easier on a larger screen, especially before final export.
