What Every Paystub Template Should Include

Once you’ve explored the different paystub templates, it’s time to decide which one best suits your needs. Whether you’re creating a stub for yourself or for your employees, there are a few key things every professional paystub should include.

Let’s break it down:

  1. Company Details Company Details

    Start by clearly listing your company’s name, address, and contact info. If you have a business license number or employer ID, add those too. Accuracy here is important—it ensures legitimacy and helps avoid any confusion or compliance issues.

  2. Employee Information Employee Information

    Include the full name of the employee (or your own, if you’re self-employed), along with their address, ID number, and contact information. These details are especially useful when the paystub is used for things like loan applications or rental agreements.

  3. Earnings Breakdown Earnings Breakdown

    Make sure to show gross pay, net pay, and year-to-date totals. Include the pay period dates and any hourly rates or salary information. This section helps verify income and keeps records clear and consistent.

  4. Deductions Section Deductions Section

    Be transparent about deductions—list federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any local taxes if applicable. If you’re offering benefits or making retirement contributions, those should be itemized as well.

  5. Personal Touch Add a Personal Touch

    Your paystub doesn’t have to be dull. With FormPros templates, you can add your logo, pick a color scheme, or choose a layout that fits your brand. Just keep it clean and professional—it’s still a legal document, after all.

Authenticity Matters

Producing counterfeit paystubs has serious consequences. Stay vigilant when reviewing documents and use professionally generated stubs to avoid compliance issues.

Quick checklist to spot a fake paystub:

  • Missing essentials (employer/employee info, pay period dates, gross/net/YTD totals)
  • Rounded or unrealistic numbers that don’t match hours, rates, or taxes
  • Inconsistent formatting (fonts, spacing, logos) from line to line
  • Employer details you can’t verify (address, EIN, website, contact)
  • Unusual payment methods or references that don’t align with standard payroll

Remember, a paystub is issued by employers as part of payroll, while an invoice is created by independent contractors to request payment. Tenants can use valid pay stubs as proof of income when applying for rentals.
