A payslip is the document an employer must give an employee showing their gross pay, deductions such as tax and National Insurance, and net pay for a given pay period.

By law, a payslip must include the amount of any variable and fixed deductions, and for hourly-paid staff, the number of hours worked. It can be provided electronically or on paper.
Tax rules depend on individual circumstances and can change. This glossary is general information rather than personalised tax advice.
