Verify a paycheck, line by line.

Enter the numbers straight off a pay stub. We check the regular/OT math, FICA, the 2026 federal withholding tables, and whether it all reconciles to net pay.

Enter the stub figures on the left, then run the check.
Nothing is calculated until you do.
What this checks: regular/OT pay math, FICA (Social Security 6.2% / Medicare 1.45%) against taxable wages only, exclusion of accountable-plan per diem and reimbursements from FICA wages, the 2026 Social Security wage base cap ($176,100), federal income tax withholding using the IRS Publication 15-T (2026) Percentage Method for Automated Payroll Systems (Worksheet 1A) based on the W-4 selections entered, and that Total Pay − Taxes − Deductions reconciles to Net Pay. What it can't verify: state income tax withholding, which depends on the employee's state withholding form and that state's tables — shown for reference only, not flagged as an error. The federal check also assumes this paycheck is representative of a full, regular pay period; a one-off irregular check (first/last check, large bonus, etc.) may legitimately differ from the annualized estimate.
