Entering a cheque stub

Copy the numbers from your real pay stub into Paycheq to see how close the estimate was, and to keep your CPP and EI totals right. Comparing with your cheque is part of Paycheq Pro.

Entering a stub

1. Open the Pay tab. If you have more than one job, choose the job at the top left.
2. Make sure Pay period is showing, then use the arrows to go to the pay period the cheque covers.
3. Scroll to Your actual cheque and tap Enter cheque stub.
4. Fill in the amounts for this cheque:
   • Gross pay: starts at Paycheq’s estimate. Change it to the stub’s figure.
   • Federal tax and your province’s tax.
   • CPP, CPP2 and EI.
   • Other deductions: everything else, such as union dues, benefits and pension, added together.
   • Net pay: the amount deposited. This is the only one you must fill in.
5. Tap Save.

Use the “current” or “this period” column on your stub, not year to date.

What you’ll see

The Your actual cheque card shows Actual net, Estimated net and the Difference. A plus means your cheque was more than the estimate; a minus means less.

What Paycheq does with your stubs

• CPP and EI totals: the CPP and EI you enter replace Paycheq’s estimates in your year-to-date totals, so they stop at the yearly maximum at the right time. Leave both blank to keep the estimates.

Changing or deleting a stub

Open the pay period and tap Edit cheque stub. To remove it, tap Delete cheque stub at the bottom.
