Designed for one-person corporations
Many contractors are both shareholder and employee. A paystub gives you a clean record of salary, deductions, and net pay for lenders, landlords, accountants, and CRA files.
For incorporated contractors
Paystubs for contractors who pay themselves salary
If your corporation pays you employment income, you need records that look like payroll records — not random transfers from a business account. PaystubHero creates professional Canadian paystubs for contractor salary payments.
3 paystubs free. No credit card required.
Canadian payroll deductions
PaystubHero calculates CPP, EI, and federal income tax based on pay frequency and gross salary. Pro users can add custom deductions for provincial tax, benefits, or reimbursements.
Keep records for year end
Each paystub becomes source documentation for T4 preparation and payroll remittance checks. Generating the PDF at the time of payment is cleaner than reconstructing records later.
Generate a Canadian paystub in minutes
CPP, EI, federal tax, custom deductions, pay period details, and PDF export in one workflow.
