Payslip StudioMake salary slips for one employee or the whole team, with EPF at the new 25,000 wage ceiling, ESI, professional tax by state and income tax (TDS) for tax year 2026-27 worked out for you, and loss of pay, overtime, loans, leave and year-to-date totals. Six designs, PDFs with real text and an optional password, a salary register, a bank transfer sheet and the PF ECR file. Everything stays in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded.
Shortcuts: outside a text box Ctrl+Z undoes and Ctrl+Y redoes a change, [ and ] go to the month before or after, Ctrl+P prints the payslip, and ? opens the help. Esc closes a window or a menu, and the arrow keys move between the tabs.
Fill in the company name, address and state, and under Company the CIN, GSTIN, PAN, TAN, PF and ESI codes, the logo, the signature and the stamp. Try an example company shows a team of four with a month of payslips first, so you can see every part before you type your own.
Name, employee ID, designation, date of joining, work state, PAN, UAN and bank account. Then the salary structure: the gross pay a month, basic as a share of it, HRA as a share of basic and a special allowance that takes the rest, or amounts of your own. From CTC works out the gross pay from the annual cost to company.
Pick the month at the top and type the days of loss of pay, the overtime hours, a bonus, arrears or a reimbursement, and the leave taken. Pay for the month is cut in proportion to unpaid days, and joining or leaving in the month is counted too. Next month starts from this month's leave and loan balances.
PF, ESI, professional tax and income tax are worked out for you, each with a line that says how. Choose the employee's tax regime and, for the old one, the rent and investments. Add deductions that come every month, such as health insurance, and loans or salary advances repaid in instalments.
Six designs: a Classic boxed table, a Modern colour band, Minimal, a Statement with full month, this month and year to date, a Letterhead and a Compact half sheet. Choose the colour, the paper and what the slip shows: year-to-date totals, the employer's contributions, the tax summary, leave and bank details.
The badge on the Payslip tab counts things to look at before you send. Download one payslip as a PDF, a PDF with a password, a JPG for WhatsApp or a PNG, or print it. The Month view does everyone at once: a zip of payslips, one PDF, the salary register, the bank sheet and the PF ECR file.
A payslip carries a salary, a PAN, a UAN and a bank account number. Here the payslips, the register and the files are made by your own browser: nothing you type is sent to a server, and there is no account. What you enter is kept in this browser until you delete it.
EPF with the wage ceiling of the month, including the rise to 25,000 on 17 September 2026 and the Labour Codes rule on allowances above half of pay; ESI with its contribution periods; professional tax for every state; and income tax for tax year 2026-27 in the new or the old regime.
The Month view puts everyone's pay in one table: type the days of loss of pay for each person and see the gross, the deductions and the net pay, the PF, ESI and TDS to deposit and the employer's cost. Then download every payslip as a zip or one PDF.
The payslip beside the form is drawn once and the same drawing becomes the PDF, the picture and the print, so all of them match. The PDF holds real, searchable text in the slip's own font, stays sharp at any zoom and is usually about 40 KB.
A PAN, UAN, IFSC or GSTIN that cannot be right, PF or ESI turned off for wages that need them, deductions above half of the pay, income tax due with no PAN, and a regime that would save the employee tax: each comes with a link to the field that needs a look.
A salary register with every earning and deduction per person, a bank transfer sheet with account numbers, IFSC and net pay, and the PF ECR file for the EPFO portal. The spreadsheets and PDFs carry no author name, no program name and no date of their own.
A salary slip, or payslip, is the employer's statement of one month's pay. It names the employer and the employee, with the employee ID, the designation, the PAN, the UAN and the bank account; it gives the days in the month, the days paid and any loss of pay; and it lists the earnings, such as basic, HRA and allowances, the deductions, such as PF, ESI, professional tax and income tax, and the net pay, usually also in words. Banks ask for the last three months' slips for a loan, landlords for a rental agreement and embassies for a visa, so a slip that is complete and adds up matters to the employee as much as to the company.
PF is 12% of wages from the employee and 12% from the employer, of which up to 8.33% goes to the pension scheme; wages above the ceiling may be left out, and the ceiling is 25,000 a month from 17 September 2026 (15,000 before). ESI applies when monthly pay is up to 21,000 (25,000 for a person with a disability): 0.75% from the employee and 3.25% from the employer. Professional tax is a state tax of at most 2,500 a year, with slabs that differ from state to state; some states charge none. Payslip Studio works out all three for each month.
The employer deducts income tax from salary every month and deposits it, as tax deducted at source. From tax year 2026-27 this comes under the Income-tax Act, 2025, with the same rates as before. The new regime is the default: no tax up to 12 lakh of taxable income, with a 75,000 standard deduction. The old regime allows the HRA exemption, now up to half of basic and DA in eight cities, and deductions such as 80C. The employee picks the regime; Payslip Studio shows which one gives less tax. The figures are for reference: check unusual cases with your accountant.

No. The payslips, the register and the files are made by your browser, and nothing you type is sent to a server. To let you come back next month, the companies, employees and saved payslips are kept in this browser's storage on this device, which is not encrypted; anyone who uses this browser can open them. Delete everything, under Company and Backup and your data, removes them, and a backup file keeps a copy on your own disk.
PF is 12% of PF wages: basic, dearness allowance and retaining allowance, and under the Labour Codes the part of the other allowances above half of the pay. The wage ceiling is 15,000 until 16 September 2026 and 25,000 from 17 September 2026; September 2026 is worked out in two parts, 16 days at the old ceiling and 14 at the new one, for a single ECR. The employer also pays 12%, of which 8.33% of wages up to the ceiling goes to the pension scheme until the employee turns 58, plus 0.5% for EDLI and 0.5% admin charges. A company that pays PF on the full wages can say so under Payroll rules.
It works out the tax for the whole tax year in the regime the employee chose, takes off the tax already deducted in earlier months, and spreads the rest over the months left. In the new regime there is no tax up to 12 lakh of taxable income, after the 75,000 standard deduction; in the old regime the HRA exemption, 80C, 80D, home loan interest and the professional tax are taken off. A bonus is taxed in the month it is paid. The figures are for reference: for anything unusual, check with your accountant.
The slabs of 22 states and union territories that charge it, including the February amount in Maharashtra and Karnataka, Maharashtra's slabs for women, the half-yearly tax of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry and the yearly tax of states such as Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, spread over the months. Thirteen, such as Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have none. States change their rules, so each one can be edited under Company.
