Apparent $/hour
—
Pay after federal taxes, plus the mileage and GPS reimbursements, ÷ hours worked - what the paycheck looks like per hour.
Paystub Parser
Turn your paystub PDFs into the hourly rates you're really earning. Everything happens in this browser tab - nothing is uploaded anywhere, and nothing is saved once you close or reload this page.
Actual $/hour
—
Pay after federal taxes ÷ hours worked, with the mileage and GPS reimbursements left out.
Adjusted $/hour
—
Actual $/hour, minus the car costs the mileage reimbursement didn't cover at the federal rate above.
These are this page's own estimates, not payroll or IRS figures. The federal mileage rate is a stand-in for typical vehicle costs, not this vehicle's actual cost.

How this page works
- Load a paystub. On the Home tab, choose one or more paystub PDFs. Each file must be a real PDF in the expected paystub layout, with a voucher date, voucher number, pay period, net pay, and hours worked. A paystub that's already loaded is turned away, matched by its voucher date and number, not its file name. No PDF? Switch to "Enter values" and type in the amounts from the paystub instead - hours are worked out from each pay line's rate ($7.25 for training and insider pay, $4.50 for driver pay). An entry for a pay period that's already loaded is turned away.
- Everything stays in your browser. The PDF is read right here in this tab - it's never uploaded anywhere. Nothing is saved either: closing or reloading the page clears every loaded paystub. Switching between the Home, Graphs, and About tabs keeps them.
- See the rates. Home shows the selected paystub's three hourly rates. Below them, "Paystubs" lists every loaded paystub - click one to switch to it. "Calculations" and "Parsed paystub" show the math and everything read from the selected PDF, and "Lifetime Rates" combines all loaded paystubs - total pay divided by total hours, so longer pay periods count for more.
- Compare pay periods. Graphs plots all three rates for every loaded paystub, oldest to newest. Turn on "Show averages" for a dashed line at each rate's average.
Apparent, Actual, and Adjusted
Every rate is pay divided by hours worked (training, in-store, and driving hours together). "Pay" always means every earnings line - wages and tips - minus federal taxes. The three rates differ only in how they treat driving your own car.
Apparent
What your pay looks like per hour if the reimbursements - mileage and GPS data - are counted as pay. It's the biggest of the three, but reimbursements aren't really earnings - they pay you back for using your own car and phone.
(pay + mileage reimbursement + GPS reimbursement) ÷ hours
Actual
What you're paid per hour once reimbursements are taken back out. Drivers are reimbursed for their car at $0.45 per mile, plus a separate payment for GPS data use; neither counts here.
pay ÷ hours
Adjusted
What you're paid per hour after the real cost of driving your car, using the IRS's standard mileage rate for personal vehicles as that cost. Miles driven are worked out from the mileage reimbursement (mileage reimbursement ÷ $0.45). The GPS reimbursement isn't for miles, so it plays no part here. Those miles are priced at the federal rate, and whatever the $0.45/mile reimbursement didn't cover is taken out of pay. Each paystub uses the IRS rate in effect on the first day of its pay period - a pay period that crosses into a new rate keeps the earlier one. You can change a paystub's federal rate on the Adjusted card on Home; that change applies to that paystub only.
(pay − (miles × federal rate − mileage reimbursement)) ÷ hours
These are this page's own estimates, not payroll or IRS figures. The federal mileage rate stands in for typical vehicle costs, not your vehicle's actual cost.
