Free Payslip Creator: Generate Your Payslip Online
Need a payslip quickly? Whether you’re an employee who needs proof of income or you’re self-employed and need to document your earnings, the OS Payroll online payslip creator lets you generate a professional payslip in minutes — with a free sample before you pay anything.
What is an online payslip creator?
An online payslip creator is a tool that generates payslip documents based on the earnings and deduction details you enter. Rather than designing a payslip from scratch, you enter your pay information — salary, tax code, NI number, deductions — and the tool produces a professionally formatted payslip on genuine payroll stationery.
OS Payroll’s payslip creator calculates income tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, and student loan repayments automatically based on your salary and tax code. Or you can enter your own figures if you already know them.
Who uses an online payslip creator?
- Employees who need proof of income — for mortgage applications, rental references, visa applications, or benefit claims
- Self-employed workers — who want a consistent, professional record of drawings from their business
- People who have lost their original payslips — and need replacement documents for a specific period
- Small employers — who need to produce payslips for staff without full payroll software

Frequently asked questions
Is the free payslip creator actually free?
The sample is free — you can generate and preview a full payslip at no cost. You only pay if you want to download or receive the final document.
Can I use an online payslip for a mortgage application?
Yes — payslips from OS Payroll are printed on genuine payroll stationery and are accepted by most mortgage lenders as proof of income. For formal mortgage applications, lenders typically want 3–6 months of payslips alongside a P60.
Can I create a payslip for a previous month or year?
Yes — you can specify any pay date and period. OS Payroll can produce payslips going back over 20 years.
Will the payslip look like a real payslip?
Yes. OS Payroll uses genuine HMRC-approved payroll stationery. The document does not say ‘replacement’ or ‘copy’.
What if I don’t know my exact tax figures?
The system can calculate income tax, NI, student loan, and pension automatically from your gross salary and tax code. For previous years, check your figures using your HMRC Personal Tax Account at gov.uk first.
