Proof of income for the self-employed
Income verification documentation
Landlords and lenders ask for pay stubs, and nobody issues them to you when you work for yourself. Paystub Pilot builds a pay-stub-style PDF from self-employment, owner pay or gig income you can back up with bank deposits, invoices and 1099s, with YTD totals, and tax lines for your state when you pay yourself through payroll.
Create your pay stubWhat the PDF includes
Format reviewers recognize
Employer or business details, worker details, pay period, gross pay, deductions, tax lines, YTD totals, and net pay in one PDF.
Bring the source records
Enter income that matches your bank statements, tax returns, invoices or platform summaries. Reviewers cross-check; the stub only helps when the backup agrees with it.
Preview before you pay
Generate the watermarked version first, check every line, and buy the clean PDF only when it is ready to share.
When you need proof of income
Apartment rental applications
Property managers want recent income in a format they can scan quickly, and they'll check it against your deposits.
Personal loan applications
Use the stub as a current-period summary alongside bank statements, tax returns and 1099s.
Government benefits
Some programs request current income documentation. Check the program instructions before submitting a self-prepared summary.
Credit card applications
Summarize current income when a financial institution asks for additional context beyond the application form.
Work for someone else?
Your employer's payroll already produced your stubs, and those are what a reviewer wants. Download them from the payroll portal. If you can't get in, ask HR for an employment verification letter.
