Employers must provide a payslip within one working day of pay day.
How it works
- Employer details: upload your logo and enter your business name and ABN.
- Employee details: name and position (employee ID and TFN are optional).
- Pay period: select start, end, and payment dates plus weekly / fortnightly / monthly frequency.
- Earnings: choose salary or hourly. For hourly, add line items for ordinary hours, overtime, weekend penalties, public-holiday rates, or any custom multiplier. Add allowances and bonuses as needed.
- Tax & super: toggle the tax-free threshold and HECS as required. PAYG, Medicare, super (at the Superannuation Guarantee rate of 12.0%), and HECS are calculated automatically using the current 2025-26 rates.
- Preview & download: the live preview mirrors the PDF exactly. Download a Fair Work-compliant PDF payslip in one click.
Employees can cross-check their take-home pay against a payslip with the take-home pay calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Payslip Generator free?
Yes — the generator is completely free. There are no sign-ups, subscriptions, or hidden fees. Enter your details and download a professional PDF payslip instantly.
Does it meet Fair Work payslip requirements?
Yes. The generated payslip includes every mandatory field required under the Fair Work Act 2009 and Regulation 3.46: employer name and ABN, employee name, pay period dates, payment date, gross and net pay, itemised earnings (penalty rates, allowances, bonuses), PAYG withholding, and superannuation details (amount and fund).
What tax rates does the payslip generator use?
The generator applies the 2025–2026 PAYG withholding schedule, the Medicare Levy, the Low Income Tax Offset (LITO), and HECS/HELP repayment thresholds where applicable. The financial-year values are sourced from the project's official tax-rate getters and update automatically each year.
Can I generate payslips for casual or hourly employees?
Yes. Switch the earnings section to hourly and add line items for each rate that applied during the period — ordinary hours, overtime, Saturday and Sunday loadings, public-holiday rates, and any custom multiplier you need. Each line shows hours × rate × multiplier so the breakdown is auditable.
Can I add my company logo to the payslip?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG (up to 1 MB) and it will appear in the payslip banner and the downloaded PDF. Your logo is stored only in your browser — it never leaves your device.
How do I handle overtime, weekend penalties, and public holiday rates?
Add an earnings line for each penalty type. Default multipliers are pre-filled (overtime 1.5×, Saturday 1.5×, Sunday 2×, public holiday 2.5×) but you can override any of them, or add a custom row with your own label and multiplier — useful for award-specific allowances or shift loadings.
Can I record allowances and bonuses?
Yes. Open the Allowances section to add itemised allowances and mark each one as taxable or non-taxable — non-taxable allowances are still shown on the payslip but excluded from the PAYG calculation. Bonuses always appear as a separate line and are included in the PAYG base.
Is the data I enter saved or sent anywhere?
No data is sent to any server. Everything happens in your browser. Tax preferences (tax-free threshold, HECS toggle, leave balances) and the most recently uploaded logo are stored only in your browser's localStorage, and you can clear them at any time. Employer and employee details are never persisted.
