Your salary data never leaves this page
Every figure you type, and any logo you upload, is processed in your own browser and held only in the page's memory. Nothing is transmitted to RadixHR or anyone else, there is no account to create, and closing the tab erases it. Several other online payslip tools send what you enter to their servers to render the document — worth checking before you type a real employee's salary into one.
Salary slip format in the UAE: what a payslip must show
A UAE salary slip — used interchangeably with “payslip” — is the monthly record an employer gives an employee showing exactly how that month's pay was calculated. It is a different document from a salary certificate, which confirms overall employment and income rather than a single month's breakdown.
A correction worth making up front: UAE federal law does not prescribe a single mandatory payslip template. Anyone selling a “legally required payslip format” is overstating the position. What drives the content is the surrounding obligation set — the duty to keep proper wage records, the data that must flow into the Wage Protection System, and the fact that in a dispute the payslip is the document MOHRE will look at. These are the fields that meet that bar:
- Employer and employee identification
- Company name and address, plus the employee's name, ID and designation — the details that tie the slip to the MOHRE record.
- Pay period and payment details
- The month the slip covers, the date the salary was paid, and how it was paid — WPS bank transfer in most cases.
- Basic salary, shown separately
- On its own line, because gratuity, overtime and leave salary are all calculated on basic pay rather than the gross package. UAE law requires the basic salary to be clearly stated in the employment contract.
- Allowances, itemised
- Housing, transport and any other fixed allowances, listed individually rather than lumped into a single figure.
- Overtime and each deduction
- Overtime pay, and every deduction named separately. Total deductions cannot exceed 50% of the wage in any month under Article 25 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.
- Net pay
- The final amount transferred to the employee, which should reconcile exactly with the WPS salary transfer for that month.
Arabic is the official language for employment records in the UAE, and where another language is used alongside it the Arabic version prevails in a conflict. Federal law does not prescribe a bilingual payslip template, but issuing slips in both Arabic and English is strongly advisable. For the full picture — including the basic versus allowances split and the “60% rule” that isn't a rule — see our guide to UAE payslips and salary structure.
For reference, not an official record. This generator creates a payslip template for personal use. An employee's official payslip should come from their employer's payroll system, since that is the record reconciled against WPS salary transfers and UAE Labour Law. DIFC and ADGM operate separate frameworks — confirm your position there with the relevant authority.
How to create a salary slip in four steps
- 1
Enter your company details
Add the company name and address, and upload a logo if you want it on the salary slip. The logo is read on your device and never uploaded.
- 2
Add the employee details
Enter the employee name, employee ID, designation, pay period and payment date, then choose the payment mode — WPS bank transfer, bank transfer, cheque or cash.
- 3
Enter earnings and deductions
Put basic salary on its own line, then housing, transport and other allowances, overtime, and any deductions such as unpaid leave or a salary advance. Gross, total deductions and net pay calculate as you type.
- 4
Pick a template and print
Choose one of four salary slip formats — Classic, Modern, Minimal or Corporate — then print or save as PDF from your browser.
Four payslip templates to choose from
The same figures render into four different salary slip formats — switch between them above the preview and print whichever suits the recipient. Every template carries the same fields, so the choice is presentation only.
Classic
A ruled letterhead with earnings and deductions facing each other in two columns. The closest match to how most UAE employers lay out a monthly slip.
Modern
A branded header band carrying your logo, and one continuous ledger ending in a solid net-pay bar. Suits companies that want the slip to match the rest of their documents.
Minimal
Monochrome, hairline rules and generous whitespace, with no colour at all. Prints cleanly on any printer and suits employers who want an unbranded document.
Corporate
A fully bordered accounting grid with dual signature cells. This is the format finance departments, banks and visa applications tend to expect.
Need an editable Word or Excel salary slip instead? Print to PDF from here and convert it, or rebuild the field list above in a spreadsheet. The PDF route has one advantage worth keeping: the figures cannot be altered after the slip is issued.
Salary slip & payslip FAQs
What is the salary slip format in the UAE?
A UAE salary slip shows the employer and employee details, the pay period, basic salary on its own line, allowances (housing, transport and any others), overtime, each deduction, and the net pay transferred. Basic salary is separated because gratuity, overtime and leave salary are all calculated on basic pay rather than the gross package. There is no single government-issued template — the format above is what UAE employers and banks expect to see.
Is a payslip legally required in the UAE?
UAE federal law does not prescribe a single mandatory payslip template, so any tool claiming to produce a 'legally required format' is overstating the position. What drives payslip content is the surrounding obligation set: the employer's duty to keep proper wage records, the data that must flow into the Wage Protection System, and the fact that in a dispute the payslip is the document MOHRE will look at. Issuing one is effectively non-optional in practice.
What is the difference between a payslip and a salary certificate?
A payslip is the monthly record of how one month's pay was calculated — earnings, deductions and net pay for that period. A salary certificate is a letter confirming overall employment and income, usually addressed to a bank or embassy for a loan, visa or rental application. Banks asking for proof of income typically want both: a certificate plus the last two or three payslips.
Is this payslip generator free to use?
Yes. The generator is completely free with no signup — fill in the details, choose a template, preview instantly, and print or save as PDF.
Does this tool store or send my salary data anywhere?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere, and an uploaded logo is read on your device rather than posted to a server. Closing the tab clears everything. Some other online payslip tools send what you enter to their servers for processing; this one does not.
Can I download the salary slip in Word or Excel format?
Not directly — this tool outputs a print-ready PDF through your browser's print dialog, which is the format banks, embassies and HR files accept. If you need an editable Word or Excel version, print to PDF first and convert it, or rebuild the field list in a spreadsheet. The PDF route has one advantage worth keeping: the figures cannot be altered after the slip is issued.
How much can be deducted from a UAE salary?
Total deductions in any month cannot exceed 50% of the employee's wage, under Article 25 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Only specified categories of deduction are lawful, and employers cannot charge employees for recruitment or visa costs — those are the employer's responsibility. Every deduction on the payslip should be identifiable and lawful, because an unexplained shortfall reads to the WPS system as an underpayment.
Is a payslip made with this tool an official document?
This tool creates a payslip template for reference and drafting. For an employee's official payroll record, a payslip should be issued by the employer's HR or payroll system, since that record is what UAE Labour Law and WPS reconciliation rely on.
Can I generate payslips for my whole team with this?
This tool is built for one payslip at a time. For monthly payroll across a full team — with WPS files, gratuity and compliance handled automatically — RadixHR's platform generates every employee's payslip in one run.
