Independent US Tool — Operating Since 2024

About ValidPaystubs

We build the simplest, most accurate online paystub generator for US freelancers, contractors, and small businesses — no software, no signup, no surprises.

Who runs this site

ValidPaystubs is operated by John Bibbins, an independent developer based in the United States. There is no sales team, no call center, and no warehouse — just a focused product that does one thing well.

Being a small independent operation lets us keep the tool free at the preview stage, charge a one-time fee instead of a subscription, and ship fixes in hours instead of quarters.

When we started

ValidPaystubs launched in 2024 to give freelancers and 1099 contractors a fast way to document their income for landlords, lenders, and accountants — without paying $30/month to enterprise payroll software.

What we do — and what we don't

What ValidPaystubs is for

Self-employed individuals, freelancers, 1099 contractors, and small business owners who need a clean, mathematically accurate paystub for personal record-keeping, rental applications, loan applications, or accountant submissions.

What we calculate

Federal income tax withholding (IRS Circular E), state income tax for all 50 states + DC, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), state-specific items like CA SDI, NJ FLI, NY DBL, OR Statewide Transit, and more.

What ValidPaystubs is NOT for

Generating fraudulent income documentation, impersonating an employer you don't work for, or misrepresenting income to defraud lenders, landlords, or government agencies. Doing so is a federal crime — please don't.

Get in touch

Refund requests, technical issues, partnership inquiries, press, or just feedback — email is the fastest way to reach us. Replies usually within 24 hours.
