Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PaystubsFast.com.

Getting Started

What is PaystubsFast.com?
PaystubsFast.com is an online document preparation service. Create professional pay stubs with our generator, or fill out W-2, 1099, 1040, W-4, 941 and other forms in our online PDF editor — then download, print, or email the finished PDFs.
Do I need to install software?
No. Everything runs in your browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Do I need an account to start?
No. You can begin immediately. Your progress saves automatically once you enter your email, and your documents attach to your account at checkout so you can access them later.

Paystub Generator

How are taxes calculated?
Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) use standard rates. Federal withholding is estimated from current federal brackets, and state withholding uses typical rates for your state. Every figure can be manually overridden so your stubs match your actual payroll records.
Can I make stubs for several pay periods?
Yes. Choose your pay frequency and how many stubs you need — previous pay dates generate automatically, and each period can be expanded and edited individually.
Can I choose different templates?
Yes — 14 professional styles including classic corporate, modern minimal, contractor, detailed register, short, long, check stub, square, and wide layouts in blue or black & white. Switch anytime and the live preview re-renders instantly.
What is the direct deposit slip add-on?
For $2.99 per stub, each pay stub includes a detachable deposit advice slip showing net pay and reference number — the same format payroll providers use. It is marked non-negotiable and is a record, not a check.
What are YTD figures?
Year-to-date columns accumulate earnings and deductions across the calendar year, including across all the stubs in your order.

Payment & Delivery

How much does it cost?
A single pay stub is $19.99; orders of 2+ stubs are $11.99 per stub. The direct deposit slip add-on is $2.99 per stub. Form documents in the PDF editor are $19.99 each. All pricing is one-time.
How do I pay?
Through Stripe secure checkout — major cards, Apple Pay, and Link where available. Your card details never touch our servers.
When do I get my documents?
Instantly after payment: download on the confirmation page, automatic email copy, and permanent access in your dashboard.
Can I get my documents again later?
Yes — log into your dashboard anytime to re-download or re-email your paid documents.
What if my payment fails?
You can retry with another payment method. If you were charged but received nothing, contact support@paystubsfast.com and we will resolve it quickly.

Editing & Forms

Which forms can I fill online?
W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1040, 1040-ES, W-4, W-9, W-3, 941, invoices, and more — plus you can upload your own PDF.
Can I edit before paying?
Yes. Filling, signing, and previewing are free. Payment is required only for the final download, email, print, or export.
What export formats are available?
PDF, PNG, and JPEG are fully supported. Word, PowerPoint, and Excel options appear in the export dialog with availability messaging where faithful conversion is not possible.

Security & Legal

Is my data secure?
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), documents are stored in private access-controlled storage, downloads use signed expiring links, and payments are handled entirely by Stripe. See our Security page.
Can I use generated documents for a loan or lease application?
Documents you create reflect information you entered — they are records you prepare, not third-party verification. Presenting false or inflated income to a lender, landlord, or agency is fraud. Only use documents that accurately reflect real income and employment. See our Lawful Use Policy.
What is your refund policy?
Because documents are delivered instantly, refunds are evaluated case by case for duplicate charges, billing errors, or technical failures. See the Refund Policy page.
