Paystubs for the Self-Employed

Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and 1099 contractors often struggle to prove income because they don't get a standard paycheck. By generating your own paystubs, you formalize your income "draws" from your business. This is essential for keeping personal and business finances separate.

Using Paystubs for Tax Planning

Our generator calculates estimated federal and state taxes based on your earnings. While you don't withhold these in the same way an employer does, seeing these numbers helps you set aside the right amount for quarterly estimated tax payments.

Common Questions

Should I list myself as both employer and employee?

If you are a sole proprietor, yes, your business is the employer and you are the employee. If you are a freelancer, use your client name or your own business name.

Is this the same as a 1099?

No. A 1099 is a tax form you receive at year-end. A paystub is a record of payment for a specific period. Both are useful, but paystubs show more immediate, granular income flow.
