Pay stub template questions

Can I preview every pay stub template before paying?

Yes. The five instant-generator templates are shown here with realistic sample data, and the builder creates a free watermarked preview using your own figures before checkout.

Does choosing a different template change the calculations?

No. All five instant templates use the same payroll calculation engine. The template changes the presentation, not the federal, FICA, state, or year-to-date calculations.

Which pay stub template should I use?

Choose the layout that best matches your record-keeping and readability needs. Corporate Navy is the broadest default, Bank Check + Stub includes a traditional check section, and Minimalist prints cleanly in black and white.

How much does a finished pay stub cost?

One pay stub is $12.99. Two or more created in the same order are $9 each. Previewing and comparing templates is free.
