Does a business with fewer than five staff have to issue one?

Yes. It applies to every employer paying wages, regardless of headcount, including day workers and short-term part-timers.

Are the default insurance rates correct?

Check them. The rates change annually and the defaults are only recent values. Look up this year's published figures and correct them — which is why the rate fields are editable.

Why isn't income tax calculated?

It comes from the withholding table and depends on dependants, so a single percentage cannot produce it. Enter the figure you looked up.

Why divide by 209 hours?

A forty-hour week plus the paid weekly rest is conventionally treated as 209 hours a month. If the contract differs, put in the hours that apply.

A monthly salary on 40 hours a week (209 hours) already includes weekly holiday pay. For part-time staff, choose 'Hourly' above and it is worked out and added for you.

For a salary the ordinary hourly wage is base pay ÷ contracted monthly hours (usually 209 for a 40-hour week); hourly pay uses the rate itself. Adjust the multipliers to your workplace: overtime and holiday work are usually 1.5, the night premium 0.5. The working is printed on the payslip as is.

Fewer than 5 regular employeesOvertime and holiday work at 1×, no night premium. The 50% premiums aren't required under five employees; weekly holiday pay still is.

Calculated on 2026 rules (minimum wage 10,320 won). Contracts and circumstances differ, so please check it yourself.

Deductions

Statutory insurance helper (rate %)

PensionHealthLong-term careEmployment

These rates change every year. Don't trust the defaults — check this year's published rates and correct them. Long-term care is a percentage of the health premium, not of pay.

Income tax and local income tax need the withholding table, so they are not filled in for you. Look them up and enter them yourself.

When to use the payslip maker

Since November 2021 a Korean employer has had to issue a wage statement with every payment, no matter how few people are on the books. A shop with one part-timer is not exempt. What is less clear is what has to be on it.

The law asks for more than a figure: payments itemised, deductions listed, and — for anything that varies with hours — the method of calculation. This works out the ordinary hourly wage, derives the premiums from it, and prints the arithmetic alongside.

How to use it

1Fill in the period, the payment date, and both parties. Turn on Remember and the business details carry to next month.
2Add the fixed payments — base pay, meal allowance and so on.
3Enter overtime, night and holiday hours. The amounts follow from the hourly wage and the multiplier, and the formula goes on the statement.
4Add the deductions. For statutory insurance, check the rates and let it work them out.
5Build, and you get a single A4 page.
