About Us โ Creating Pay Stubs Online Since 2016
PaystubsOnline.net was founded in 2016 by Daniel Miles , a web developer and software engineer who built the first version after seeing how much freelancers and small businesses struggled with clunky, overpriced payroll tools just to get one accurate pay stub. What started as a simple generator has been maintained and updated every year since โ through federal and state tax law changes, new compliance requirements, and a decade of direct user feedback.
Who Runs This
PaystubsOnline.net is owned and operated by Daniel Miles , a web developer and software engineer based in the USA. We're not trying to be a full payroll platform โ we built a tool that does one job well, and we've kept improving it for close to a decade.
