How to create a payslip

- Pay period. Choose the month, the pay date, and the paid and loss-of-pay (LOP) days.
- Employee details. Name, employee ID, designation, department, date of joining, PAN and UAN. Leave out anything you don’t use; empty fields don’t appear on the payslip.
- Earnings and deductions. Rename, add or remove rows to match your salary structure. Totals, net pay and net pay in words update as you type.
- Download. Click Download PDF to save the payslip.
What an Indian payslip usually shows
- Employer and period: company name and address, and the month the payslip covers.
- Employee identity: name, employee ID, designation, and for statutory purposes the PAN and UAN.
- Attendance: paid days and any loss-of-pay days that reduced the salary.
- Earnings: basic salary, house rent allowance, special allowance and any other components, bonus or arrears.
- Deductions: employee provident fund, ESI where it applies, professional tax, income tax (TDS), loan recoveries and other deductions.
- Net pay: the amount actually paid, in figures and in words.
A payslip records what was paid. The figures on it should match your payroll: the PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS deducted must be the amounts actually worked out and deposited for that employee.
When a payslip generator stops being enough
A generator is fine for one or two payslips. Once you pay several people every month, typing each payslip means working out PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS by hand every time, and keeping the numbers consistent with your returns. HivePayroll does that from the payroll run itself: the payslip, the statutory deductions and the reports all come from the same numbers. It is free for up to 10 employees.

Frequently asked questions
Is the payslip generator free?
Yes. You can download up to five payslips a month in each browser without signing up. For more, HivePayroll’s Free plan runs payroll and payslips for up to 10 employees with no time limit.
Is my salary data safe?
The payslip is built entirely in your browser. The names, salaries, PAN and other details you type are not sent to HivePayroll or stored on our servers.
Can I add my company logo?
Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG logo under 1 MB and it appears at the top of the payslip and the PDF.
Can I change the salary components?
Yes. Rename any earning or deduction, add rows for components such as bonus, arrears or loan recovery, and remove the ones you don’t use.
Is a payslip made with this tool valid?
A payslip is the employer’s record of what was paid. It is valid when it is issued by the employer and its figures match the salary actually paid and the deductions actually made and deposited.
