# PayStubsNow > PayStubsNow generates professional U.S. payroll and tax documents — pay stubs, W-2s, 1099-MISC forms, and invoices — as instant, downloadable PDFs, and offers a free take-home-pay calculator. Tax math is powered by the Symmetry payroll engine, the same engine behind commercial payroll software like Gusto, ADP, and Paychex. Everything is available in English and Spanish, and one-off documents can be generated, paid for, and downloaded as a guest — no account required. PayStubsNow is a self-service document generator, not a payroll provider or a tax-filing service. People use it to create accurate pay stubs (proof of income), year-end tax forms, and client invoices on demand. Key facts: - **Pricing:** pay stubs are $8.99 each; W-2 and 1099-MISC forms are $15.49 each; invoices and the pay calculator are free. - **Coverage:** all 50 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. W-2 and 1099-MISC are U.S.-only (no Canadian T4). - **Payment & delivery:** card payment via NMI Collect.js; documents are delivered as downloadable PDFs (a ZIP archive for multi-document orders). Orders can be reviewed and edited before payment. - **Accounts:** guests can generate, pay for, and download documents without signing up. A free account adds saved companies and employees, order history, and pay schedules. - **Languages:** English (default) and Spanish, served under the `/es/` path prefix. ## Generators - [Make a pay stub](https://www.paystubsnow.com/#paystub-form): Create a U.S. pay stub with automatic federal income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and state/local withholding.
