Use it in a test

Income verification tools have to read the numbers and check that they agree. This stub gives you both.

STEP 1
Extract
Run your tool on the PDF and save gross, net, each deduction and the YTD totals as JSON.
STEP 2
Compare
Match every field with the ground truth, to the cent.
STEP 3
Check the arithmetic
Gross minus deductions and taxes is net. Year to date is 18 semi-monthly periods of the current amounts.
STEP 4
Cross-check
The $3,250.00 net pay appears as a deposit on Ava's bank statement on 15 September.

Questions

Is this a real pay stub?

No. Harbor Lane Test Co. and Ava Okafor are invented, and the stub exists to test software that reads payroll documents.

Can I use it as proof of income?

No. It is watermarked test data. Presenting it to a lender, landlord or anyone else as a genuine document is fraud.

Are the tax amounts realistic?

Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) are worked out on pay after the pre-tax medical premium, and Illinois tax uses its flat 4.95% rate. Federal withholding is plausible for the salary but not calculated from a real W-4.

Need thousands of pay stubs in your own layouts?

Generated for synthetic customers, with deposits and statements that agree. Prove it on 50 of your own documents in 48 hours.
