  1. Run your calculation.
  2. Optionally save the scenario if you want to compare later.
  3. Select “Export PDF.”

  5. Rerun and export again if FX or assumptions change.

How to read the breakdown bars

Use the bars or rows to see how gross flows to net.

PDF section What it represents How to interpret
Gross bar Total pay before deductions. Starting point for all calculations.
Tax portion Estimated tax from the simplified model. May not include state or local layers.
Pension portion Estimated pre tax pension amount if applicable. Shows trade-off between savings and net pay.
Net portion Estimated take home after deductions. Directional, not a payslip replacement.
FX converted line Destination view using the snapshot rate. Will change if FX moves.

Safe sharing tips

  • Avoid posting PDFs publicly.
  • Remove your name, employer, or identifiers if you added them elsewhere.
  • Share only with trusted recipients.
  • Keep a private archive of versions if you compare over time.
  • See the Privacy Policy for details.

Common reasons your PDF differs later

  • FX snapshot changed day to day.
  • You updated inputs or pension percent.
  • Tax rules or model assumptions updated.
  • Rounding differs from payroll.

See why payslips can differ and the calculator FAQ for limits.

Troubleshooting

  • PDF button is disabled before you run a calculation.

  • Pop-up blocked the download—allow downloads for this site.
  • Mobile share sheet issues—save locally first.
  • Currency looks unexpected—check origin/destination labels.
  • Scenario comparison not shown unless you saved scenarios.
  • Numbers changed after refresh because the FX snapshot moved.
  • PDF does not match payslip due to benefits, local taxes, or rounding.
