Calculate payroll checks

A payroll check is a physical or electronic payment issued by an employer to an employee as compensation for work performed. Payroll checks typically include the employee's gross earnings, deductions for taxes and other withholdings, and the net amount of the payroll check (the amount the employee actually receives).

In the past, payroll checks were usally physical paper checks that employees could cas or deposit at their bank. However, many employers now use direct deposit to electronically transfer employees' pay directly into their bank accounts, eliminating the need for paper checks.

Payroll checks are issued on a regular basis, such as a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, according to the employer's payroll schedule. Employees rely on these checks to receive their wages and salaries for the work they have done.
