Guide

Choosing a salary slip template

Which design fits your field and experience, and what to put on the page.

What a salary slip shows

The company, the employee's name, ID, designation, PAN and UAN, the month, working and paid days, each earning (basic pay, HRA, allowances), each deduction (PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS) and the net pay, usually in figures and in words.

Which format should I pick?

The standard format if you want the layout banks, landlords and visa offices see most often. The modern payslip if you want a clean one-page summary for a startup or a small team.

Excel or online?

Use the Excel file if you run payroll in a spreadsheet already. Use the online generator if you want PF, ESI and loss-of-pay days worked out for you, eight designs and a PDF for each employee.
