Step 1: Sign In or Access PStub on Mobile Browser
Open your mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) and go to PStub.com. Tap the login or sign-up option. If you already have an account, enter your credentials; otherwise, create one. Once logged in, you’ll be taken to the dashboard where you can choose the type of pay stub or check stub you want to generate.
If you want to see what a completed stub looks like before starting, you can see examples in our Regular Pay Stub guide or generate a sample pay stub now with placeholder numbers to get a feel for the layout.
Step 2: Enter Your Payment Details
On your smartphone screen, you’ll see fields to enter information like client or employer name, pay period dates, gross pay, hours worked (if applicable), deductions (taxes, fees, expenses), and net pay. Make sure to enter accurate data—errors at this stage will affect the final stub.
Pro tip: Use copy-and-paste or autofill for repeated fields (e.g. employer address) to save time and reduce typos.
Step 3: Customize Format and Add Optional Details
PStub allows you to add optional components to personalize your stub: logo, overtime breakdown, bonuses, leave or vacation, deductions specific to your situation. On mobile, tap the customization or “extra details” section to expose these options. Choose only what you need to keep the stub clean.
Compare your choices with the layouts in our Regular Pay Stub guide for what lenders or landlords often expect.
Step 4: Review Before Generating
Before you hit “Generate,” double-check all entries: pay period dates, gross vs net pay, formula correctness (hours × rate), and that deductions add up logically. Even on a small screen, scroll through carefully. Mistakes tend to happen when typing on mobile devices.
You can also use your phone’s split-view or a secondary device to compare with past stubs if you have them. For clarity, generate a sample pay stub based on your current numbers and compare with what you intend to submit.
Step 5: Generate and Download or Share
Once everything is correct, tap “Generate.” PStub will produce a digital pay stub or check stub (often PDF). From your smartphone, you can download it to files, send by email, or share via messaging apps. Be sure to use secure methods (protected email or cloud storage) if sensitive financial information is involved.
Keep a copy of the file for your personal records—you’ll want to reference it for taxes, audits, or credentialing.
Step 6: Store and Use As Needed
Store the generated stub in both digital form (cloud / phone) and optionally print a hard copy. Use it when applying for rentals, loans, or credit, or when clients ask for proof of income. Using pay stubs regularly builds a portfolio you can use with confidence.
If you’re building your stash of proof, generate future stubs now after each payment to keep everything up to date.
Tips to Avoid Common Smart Phone Generation Mistakes
- Check data accuracy—mobile keyboards can lead to mistyped numbers.
- Ensure you have stable internet—losing connection during generation can cause incomplete files.
- Visual layout—preview PDF before sharing to confirm formatting remains intact across devices.
- Keep your phone updated—both browser and OS—to avoid bugs when downloading or sharing files.
Security & Compliance Considerations
Even though you generate the stub yourself, it must reflect truthful information. Never falsify earnings or deductions. Also, ensure your stub includes legally required fields: employer / client info, pay period, gross income, deductions, net pay. Missing fields can make the stub invalid in many official or legal contexts.
To verify you’re including everything needed, refer to the Regular Pay Stub guide or ensure your sample aligns with documents accepted by banks or landlords.
