Pricing: our pay stub generator is free

No account, no card, and nothing to unlock. The preview is not blurred and the PDF is not behind a paywall.

What the free pay stub generator includes

You can build a complete pay stub on screen, review a live unblurred preview, and print or save a PDF from your browser. No account is required. Change the numbers as many times as you need, and only save the stub after you confirm that every figure is accurate and that you will use it lawfully.

  • Live generatorUnblurred preview that updates as you type.
  • Three templatesClassic, Modern, and Professional.
  • Labeled 2026 federal estimatesFederal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.

Free

No card

Includes the live generator, three templates, labeled 2026 federal estimates, and browser print or save. There are no add-on fees, and we will not show a struck-through “was” price or a money-back promise on a free tool.

  • Live preview, with no blur
  • Print or save a PDF from your browser
  • No account and no card
  • Change the numbers as many times as you need
  • You are responsible for the accuracy of every figure

Many other generators charge for the PDF after a free preview, or make the first stub free and charge after that. See the November 2026 comparison table on our homepage.

Why is it free?

PayStubSmart is an independent tool, and the generator runs entirely in your browser. There is no server-side payroll engine and nothing for us to store or deliver to you, so there is nothing to charge for. We would rather earn trust with a tool that works than with a countdown timer or a crossed-out price.

Will that change?

Right now everything on this page is free. If we ever add paid features, the price will be shown clearly on this page and before you start building a stub, never as a surprise at the end. We will update the date at the bottom of this page whenever pricing changes.

What is not included

  • Automatic state income tax tables. You enter state tax yourself, except in listed states with no general wage income tax.
  • Payroll filing, tax deposits, W-2s, or 1099s. PayStubSmart does not file anything with the IRS or a state.
  • Stored copies. Nothing is saved on our server, so keep a copy of every stub you print or save.

Before you print

Free does not mean anything goes. Only make a stub for wages that were actually paid or earned, and check every figure. Read how our numbers work, the disclaimer, and the terms of use. Want an estimate first? Try the free take-home pay calculator.
