Arithmetic review: on — totals are reconciled right here in your browser. Statutory and tax review: not offered right now. Arithmetic results don’t confirm tax rates, eligibility, or legally correct withholding.
Type in the figures from an earnings statement — no file upload and no worker’s identity needed. PayStubCheck recalculates what you enter on its own and points out anything worth a second look.
Each option opens its own checker. Begin with a quick arithmetic check, follow the guided line-by-line review, or line up several statements to test year-to-date continuity.
What you type stays on this page only and disappears if you refresh or navigate away.
Copy the headline totals just as the statement prints them. Type deductions as positive numbers — they are subtracted for you.
Pick the country and currency printed on the pay stub.
Copy the headline totals exactly. Type deductions as positive numbers.
How Quick Check works: gross pay − taxes − deductions + net additions = expected net pay. Only the arithmetic is tested; it never judges whether a tax amount is itself right.
Type in only what the statement or your payroll records actually show. Missing elections are never made up just to produce an answer.
Where the pay applies and how often it’s paid.
Copy each earnings line for this period. When both hours and rate are filled in, hours × rate is checked.
Type the current and year-to-date amounts wherever the statement prints them.
Amounts you enter can be reconciled without deciding how they are taxed. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now.
For amounts that raise take-home pay without counting as ordinary gross earnings.
Year-to-date figures usually already include the current period. They are turned into a prior-year-to-date figure only where a calculation needs it that way.
Federal withholding can’t be tested without the employee’s actual W-4 elections, and FICA yearly-cap checks need the relevant taxable-wage figures.
Whether CPP or QPP applies can turn on age and elections. You won’t be asked for a birth date, and eligibility is never quietly assumed.
PayStubCheck reconciles the arithmetic here in your browser. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now.
Made for two or three statements. The firmer year-to-date change checks only run once you confirm the statements are back-to-back regular pay statements from one payroll record.
Leave these boxes empty unless you can confirm them. Basic same-year observations still run either way.
A pay stub can look professional and still hide an arithmetic mistake. PayStubCheck gives recipients, employers, employees, bookkeepers, and other reviewers an orderly way to test the numbers on an earnings statement — with no upload and no worker’s identity. The aim is straightforward: recalculate whatever can genuinely be checked, explain any gap, and say plainly what the available information can’t settle.
Set gross pay against taxes, deductions, reimbursements or other net additions, and the take-home pay printed on the stub. A gap can point to a missing line, a typing slip, rounding, or a payroll adjustment worth a closer look.
Detailed Review tests hours × rate, each earnings line, and how the figures relate. While statutory and tax review is unavailable, it does not confirm statutory withholding, tax treatment, or eligibility.
When two or three statements are back to back, Compare Pay Stubs can test whether year-to-date gross pay, tax lines, deductions, and net pay carry forward consistently from one period to the next. The firmer continuity equations only run once the comparison conditions are confirmed.
It is meant for anyone who needs to make sense of the math on a pay statement — landlords and property managers looking over income documents, dealers and other businesses looking at pay information a customer has provided, small employers checking a statement before it goes out, bookkeepers reviewing payroll records, and employees checking their own pay.
PayStubCheck never asks a reviewer to judge whether a document is genuine. Instead, it offers open, step-by-step arithmetic that can be one piece of a wider review. Every recipient keeps their own documentation, verification, and acceptance standards.
See whether regular hours times rate come out right, whether the earnings lines add up to gross pay, and whether overtime and other lines match the figures you enter.
Check that the tax and deduction lines on the statement add up to their printed totals. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now.
Work out expected take-home pay from gross earnings, taxes, deductions, and net additions on its own. Any gap is shown in dollars rather than squeezed into a vague pass or fail.
Test whether this period’s amounts fit sensibly with the year-to-date figures printed on the stub and, when you have several back-to-back statements, whether the year-to-date progression adds up from period to period.
The arithmetic on a U.S. statement can be reconciled right in your browser. Federal and state statutory calculations are not offered right now, so arithmetic results don’t show that withholding is correct.
The arithmetic on a Canadian statement can be reconciled right in your browser. Canadian statutory calculations are not offered right now, so arithmetic results don’t show that withholding or contributions are correct.
Choose Quick Check for headline gross-to-net math, Detailed Review for line-by-line reconciliation, or Compare Pay Stubs for year-to-date continuity across two or three statements.
Type the amounts the statement prints, not estimates. The review works only from what you supply and never invents missing payroll facts to force an answer.
Each result is marked Consistent, Review, Unable to determine, or Not evaluated. Where it applies, you’ll see the calculated amount, the amount on the stub, the gap, the tolerance, and the method used.
An arithmetic gap can flag something worth looking into. A consistent result means the tested numbers add up — not that employment exists or that the document is genuine.
The methodology page lists jurisdiction coverage, how confident each calculation is, the official references behind it, and when each was last reviewed, so you can see exactly what the review can and can’t test on its own.
See U.S. coverage →The Canadian path is organized around CRA and Revenu Québec sources. It covers federal and provincial context along with CPP, CPP2, QPP, QPP2, EI, and QPIP figures when enough supporting detail is entered.
See Canadian coverage →Pay Stub Review does not decide whether an employer exists, whether the person really earned the income shown, whether a PDF is original or edited, or whether an application should be approved — those are separate questions. What it offers is limited to payroll arithmetic and internal consistency, based on the figures you type. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now.
It recalculates the figures you enter from a pay statement to see whether earnings, taxes, deductions, additions, net pay, and supported year-to-date relationships add up. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now.
No. Arithmetic that adds up is not a finding that a document is genuine. This tool does not confirm the worker’s identity, who the employer is, whether there is an employment relationship, where the income comes from, or where the document came from.
Yes, for the arithmetic. Quick Check works with any provider because you type in the figures from the statement yourself. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now.
Yes. The arithmetic checks work no matter which payroll provider issued the statement. Statutory and tax review is not offered right now, and the arithmetic review does not confirm U.S. or Canadian tax rules.
Two or three back-to-back statements add context, because year-to-date figures should normally move forward with each regular payroll. PayStubCheck can compare those relationships once you confirm the statements come from one payroll record with no off-cycle or correction checks in between.
No. Everything is typed in by hand, and you’re never asked for a worker’s name, SSN or SIN, address, employer name, email, or an uploaded file. Quick Check and Compare Pay Stubs run their arithmetic in your browser.
No. PayStubCheck provides every review type free of charge for anyone who receives or reviews pay statements.
