What is a Canadian Pay Stub and What Must It Include?
A Canadian pay stub is a document that records an employee's earnings and statutory deductions for a given pay period. Under the Canada Labour Code and most provincial employment standards acts, employers are required to provide employees with a written statement of wages — commonly called a pay stub or pay statement — each time they are paid.
What a wage statement must show is set by each province's employment standards law, but it usually covers the pay period, the wage rate, hours worked, gross pay, each deduction and what it is for, and net pay. The statutory deductions are Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions (QPP in Quebec), Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, and federal and provincial income tax.
Our free Canadian pay stub generator produces pay stubs with CPP, EI, federal and provincial tax lines for all provinces and territories. Enter your details below to generate a pay stub PDF instantly — no account needed. Made for small businesses and household employers paying staff in any province.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are Canadian tax calculations?
Our Canada pay stub generator uses standard CRA rates for federal tax, provincial tax, CPP (5.95% base rate) and EI premiums. These are estimates based on standard rates - consult a tax professional for exact calculations.
Can I generate pay stubs for different provinces?
Yes! Our system supports all Canadian provinces and territories. Pick the province or territory and its 2026 tax brackets and basic personal amount are applied, plus the surtax and health premium in Ontario. Quebec uses Quebec income tax, QPP, QPIP and the lower Quebec EI rate.
What is included in a Canadian pay stub?
Our Canadian pay stubs include employer and employee information, gross pay, CPP contributions, EI premiums, federal and provincial income tax, other deductions, and net pay.
Does it track year-to-date totals?
Yes. Pay stubs can show year-to-date CPP, EI and income tax, which helps you keep your own records. T4 slips themselves are issued by the employer through the CRA.
Is there a free pay stub template for Canada?
Yes. This generator is a free fillable Canadian pay stub template: fill it in and preview it for free, and free PDFs carry a watermark. CPP, EI and federal and provincial tax are worked out for every province and territory, and there are sample stubs for Ontario and Alberta.
