For sole traders and directors
One payslip.
No payroll software.
Most sole traders and directors need a payslip occasionally, not a monthly payroll run. No scheme to register, no software to configure, no standing charges. Generate what you need, when you need it.
No payroll software to configure
You are not running a payroll department. There is no scheme to register, no employee records to maintain, no year-end submissions. Just open the generator and fill in your details.
One payslip when you need it
Whether you need one payslip a year for your director salary or a handful for CIS payments, you pay only for what you generate. Nothing more sitting on your bank statement.
HMRC-compliant figures, automatically
PAYE, National Insurance and pension deductions calculated correctly for director salary, PAYE employment, CIS, or off-payroll working. No tax tables to look up.
Pay £3.99, download immediately
No account to create, no subscription to manage. Pay once via Stripe and your professionally formatted PDF is ready to download before you close the tab.
Trusted by UK businesses and accountancy firms
No setup, no configuration
Skip the software.
Just get your payslip.
Payroll software is built for employers running monthly payrolls with multiple employees. If you pay yourself a director salary a couple of times a year or need a CIS payslip on the spot, you do not need any of that. Open the generator, answer a few questions, done.
No PAYE scheme to register
The generator works standalone. You are not creating a payroll scheme or taking on any ongoing HMRC obligations.
No cumulative records to keep
Each payslip is generated independently. There are no year-to-date figures to track, no employee records to maintain between uses.
Ready in under five minutes
A short guided form takes you from employment type to finished payslip. No training, no manual, no support call needed.

Right for your situation
Director, CIS, PAYE:
handled correctly.
The most common sole trader setup is a small director salary topped up with dividends. It has specific NI rules that most generic payslip tools get wrong. Moonworkers applies the right treatment automatically.
Director salary done right
Director NI calculated on an annual cumulative basis, not monthly. The payslip reflects this correctly without any manual workaround.
CIS subcontractor payslips
CIS deductions applied at the correct rate for your verification status. Suitable as supporting documentation for self-assessment.
All current thresholds
PAYE bands, NI thresholds and pension rates updated each April. You always get the current year figures without updating any software.

£3.99 flat, nothing hidden
One payment, one payslip. No add-ons, no upsell at checkout, no VAT surprises for sole traders under the VAT threshold.

A payslip that holds up
Professional format,
ready to use anywhere.
A payslip is a legal document. Whether you need it for a mortgage application, your accountant, a tenancy reference, or your own records, it needs to look correct and contain the right information.
Adjust any line item before you pay
Add a bonus, remove a deduction, change the pay period. The payslip updates live as you type, so you see exactly what you are getting before checkout.
Standard UK payslip format
Employer details, employee details, earnings, deductions, net pay. The layout follows the format that banks, landlords and HMRC expect to see.
PDF ready to print or forward
Download immediately after payment. Print it, attach it to an email, or file it for your records straight away.
