New to OakPaystubs? Learn the basics and create your first stub.

OakPaystubs has two tools. The pay stub generator builds a stub from employer, employee, and pay details, calculates federal and state taxes for you, and lets you preview the complete stub before you pay for it. The invoice generator is separate and free: no charge and no account needed, and if you are signed in, your invoices are kept in an invoice history.

If you're new, start with what OakPaystubs does and doesn't do — it creates pay stub documents, but it doesn't file payroll taxes or pay employees — then follow the walkthrough for your first stub, which takes about three minutes. The two fields to get right from the start are the employee's work state and pay frequency, because every calculated figure depends on them.
