When a self-employed pay stub actually helps

If you’re here, something probably triggered it. It’s usually one of these situations.

Loans & financing

Bank asking for “recent pay stubs”? Some lenders are fine with tax returns, but many want the last 1–3 pay stubs that show what you’ve actually been paying yourself.

Rentals & housing

Landlord needs proof of income or wants pay stubs to go with your application. A pay stub like this is easier for them to read than a long explanation.

Your records

Some self-employed people like to keep simple pay stubs for their own records so they have a clean snapshot of what they paid themselves each period.

What your self-employed pay stub includes

You’re getting a simple formatted stub that looks like a real pay stub, not a thrown-together document.

On the pay stub itself
  • Business section with your business name and address
  • Employee section with your name and a generated employee ID
  • Pay period and pay date clearly labeled
  • Stub ID for your records
  • Current gross pay amount
  • Deductions and net pay sections, even if you keep them at $0.00 for self-employed income
About taxes and deductions

If you’re self-employed, you usually pay taxes separately instead of having them withheld on a paycheck.

That’s why most self-employed people use this stub with gross pay and net pay the same amount, and keep taxes handled through their own bookkeeping or their tax preparer.

Real talk: this is where a lot of people get confused. But if you’re self-employed and you’re paying your own taxes, it’s completely normal that your gross pay and net pay are the same amount.

FAQ

Straight answers, no fluff. These are the questions people actually ask.

Can self-employed people really create their own pay stub?
Yes. You’re simply formatting your actual income into a document that’s easier for a bank, landlord, or underwriter to read. This tool doesn’t invent income — it formats the income you already earned.
Will my bank or landlord accept this?
Every lender and landlord has their own rules, but many are fine with self-employed pay stubs as long as the numbers match your bank statements and other documents. This tool can’t guarantee approval, but it does give you a clean, familiar-looking pay stub.
Does this replace an accountant or tax professional?
No. This is a documentation tool only. It doesn’t calculate taxes or file anything with the IRS. If you have questions about how much you should be paying in taxes, talk with a qualified tax professional.
Do I get a copy emailed to me?
You’ll see your pay stub on the final page after payment. From there, you can print it or save it as a PDF. In most browsers that’s as simple as going to “Print” and choosing “Save as PDF.”
