Self-Employed Pay Record Template
A personal pay record for people who work for themselves: what you took in a pay period, estimated deductions, and year-to-date totals.
From $8.99 per stub. Preview before you pay. No account needed.
What this template is used for
- Keeping consistent personal earnings records for your own bookkeeping.
- Preparing organized figures for estimated tax payments.
- Tracking how much you paid yourself over time.
Stubify prepares records of wages and payments that actually happened, from information you enter. It does not verify that information, and whether a recipient accepts a document is up to that recipient.
Payroll fields on every record
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Gross pay | Total earnings for the pay period before any deductions. |
| Federal income tax withholding | Estimated from the filing status and pay frequency you enter. |
| Social Security | 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base. |
| Medicare | 1.45% of wages, with an additional 0.9% above the federal threshold. |
| State income tax | Estimated for the state you choose; not every state taxes wages. |
| Year-to-date totals | Running gross pay and deductions so each record lines up with the last. |
| Net pay | Gross pay minus deductions: the amount actually paid out. |

Frequently asked questions
Does a self-employed person have withholding?
Usually not in the way an employee does; self-employed people generally pay self-employment tax and income tax through estimated payments. Treat the figures here as estimates and confirm with a tax professional.
Does Stubify verify the information I enter?
No. Stubify prepares a record from the details you enter and does not verify them or issue an employer statement. Enter accurate information only; misrepresenting income or employment is prohibited by our Acceptable Use Policy.
Can I preview before I pay?
Yes. You can enter pay details and preview the formatted record before you pay. No account is needed.
Are the tax figures exact?
They are estimates calculated from your entries. Stubify is a document preparation tool, not a payroll provider, accountant or law firm, so check figures against your own payroll records.
