Frequently asked questions

Does this pay stub include Missouri state tax?

Missouri uses progressive withholding tables. Enter the state amount from your payroll records or the state withholding calculator; federal tax, Social Security and Medicare are still calculated automatically.

Is a generated pay stub legal?

Yes, when it reflects wages actually paid. Employers and self-employed people use pay stub generators to issue the itemized statement most states require. Creating a stub for income you did not receive to deceive a lender or landlord is fraud.

How is federal withholding calculated?

Using the 2026 IRS Publication 15-T percentage method: wages are annualized, the standard deduction for your W-4 filing status is applied, tax is computed at the 2026 brackets, reduced by Step 3 dependents, and divided by pay periods; Step 4(c) extra withholding is added.
