ScriptHow to make a payslip

- Add earnings (basic salary, overtime, bonus, allowances) and deductions (tax, pension, social security, advance). Totals and net pay are worked out for you.
- Download the PDF, save it as an image or print it. Save the employee to reuse next month.
What a payslip should include
Most countries expect a payslip to show the employer, the employee, the pay period, every earning, every deduction, gross pay and net pay. Many also show year-to-date (YTD) totals, hours worked, and the employer's own contributions such as pension or social security. All of these can be switched on above.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gross pay | Total earnings before any deduction |
| Deductions | Tax, pension, social security, advances and other amounts taken off |
| Net pay | Gross pay minus deductions — the amount actually paid |
| YTD | Year-to-date: the running total since the start of the tax year |
| Employer contributions | Amounts the employer pays on top of salary; they do not reduce net pay |
