Create a Pay StubNo Income Tax States (9)
These states do not withhold state income tax from wages. Federal income tax and FICA still apply.
Flat Tax States (13)
These states use one state income-tax rate instead of multiple marginal brackets, though deductions and exemptions can still affect taxable income.
Progressive Tax States (28)
These states use progressive tax brackets where tax rates increase with income level. Most states use this system.
Why the State Matters
State-specific withholding
A California stub needs different lines than a Texas, New York, or Illinois stub. The state selection controls the tax schedule used in the preview.
Easier to reconcile
A reviewer can compare the state line, gross pay, deductions, and net pay against the bank deposits or payroll records behind the stub.
