How to make a salary slip

  1. Choose the month and the date the salary was paid.
  2. Add your company name, address and logo. They are remembered for next month.
  3. Fill in the employee's details: name, ID, job title and department.
  4. List the earnings (basic salary, allowances, overtime, bonus) and the deductions (tax, social security, insurance, advances). Rename or add lines as you need.
  5. Check the net pay in the preview, add a signature if you like, and download the PDF.

What a payslip shows

A salary slip tells an employee exactly how their pay was worked out. It normally has:

  • The employer's name and the employee's name, ID and job title
  • The pay period (month) and the pay date
  • Each earning: basic pay, allowances, overtime, commission, bonus
  • Each deduction: income tax, social security or pension, health insurance, loan or advance repayments
  • Gross pay (all earnings), total deductions and the net pay paid out

Example: basic salary 2,500 + housing allowance 400 + overtime 150 = gross pay 3,050.

Income tax 305 + social security 152.50 = deductions 457.50. Net pay: 2,592.50.

Why payslips matter

For employees, a payslip is proof of income: banks and landlords often ask for the last three months of payslips. For employers, giving a payslip every month keeps payroll transparent and avoids misunderstandings. In many countries employers are required to give one, and to keep payroll records for several years, so save a copy of every PDF you make.

This tool does not calculate tax or social security for you, because the rules are different in every country. Enter the amounts from your payroll or tax tables, and ask an accountant if you are unsure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between gross pay and net pay?

Gross pay is the total of all earnings before anything is taken off: basic salary, allowances, overtime and bonuses. Net pay is what the employee actually receives after deductions such as tax, social security, insurance or a loan repayment.

Can I add my own earning and deduction lines?

Yes. Rename any line and add as many as you need, for example overtime, commission, travel allowance, provident fund or an advance being repaid.

Does this tool work out tax for me?

No. Tax rules are different in every country, so you enter the tax amount yourself. The tool adds up the earnings and deductions and shows the net pay.

Are employee details stored online?

No. Everything stays in your browser on this device. The PDF is made on our server when you ask for it and is not kept.

Can I make payslips for several employees?

Yes. Make one payslip, download it, then change the employee details and amounts for the next person. Your company details and logo stay filled in.
