Designed for one-person corporations
Many contractors are both shareholder and employee. A paystub gives you a clean record of salary, deductions, and net pay for your payroll file, your accountant, and your CRA records.
For incorporated contractors
Paystubs for contractors who pay themselves salary
If your corporation pays you employment income, you need records that look like payroll records — not random transfers from a business account. PaystubHero creates professional Canadian paystubs for contractor salary payments.
3 paystubs free. No credit card required.
Canadian payroll deductions
PaystubHero calculates CPP, EI, and federal income tax based on pay frequency and gross salary. Pro users can add custom deductions for provincial tax, benefits, or reimbursements.
Keep records for year end
Each paystub becomes source documentation for T4 preparation and payroll remittance checks. Generating the PDF at the time of payment is cleaner than reconstructing records later.
Generate a Canadian paystub in minutes
CPP, EI, federal tax, custom deductions, pay period details, and PDF export in one workflow.

Do incorporated contractors in Canada need paystubs?
Incorporated contractors need paystubs when the corporation pays them salary as employment income. Dividends do not need paystubs, but salary should be documented with deductions and net pay.
Can contractor paystubs help with mortgage or rental applications?
Paystubs document the salary your corporation actually pays you, and lenders may consider them alongside bank statements, T4s, and notices of assessment — each lender decides what it accepts and typically verifies the underlying records. Paystubs must always reflect real, paid compensation.
Does PaystubHero calculate Canadian contractor payroll deductions?
PaystubHero calculates CPP, EI, and federal income tax based on gross pay and pay frequency, then generates a Canadian PDF paystub for your records.
