Understanding your pay stub tax information and uses.
You can call it a pay stub, paycheck stub or pay-slip, it is a piece of paper. It is where your salary and the deductions that are related to your wage are written each time you are paid; you can have a pay stub every payment period like one week, two weeks or a whole month, if you are working as an employee or when you get paid as a contractor.
A pay stub will show the total earnings for a specific pay period, the deductions, and the net paid after the removals for taxes.
It was common to have a checkbook for payroll that would have the paycheck and paystub made on one page so the employees will cash the check and keep the stub. These days it is a direct deposit from the employer’s bank account to the employee’s bank account. An online version that the employee can print should be available to the employer. As a small business owner or self-employed, you can go online to PAYSUBMAKR.COM. You need to fill in the necessary information, and the website will calculate your deductions altogether, then you can print it.
If you are on salary, it is essential to make yourself a habit to review your pay-stubs and keep a copy of it for any case you may need to check or show the proof of your earnings as an employee.
