Korean Payslip Generator

LIVE

Auto-generate Korean payslips per Labor Standards Act Β§48 with 4-insurance calculations and printable A4 layout.

About this tool

Korean Payslip Generator (imgeum) drafts a PDF wage statement that satisfies Korean Labor Standards Act Β§48 (mandatory since Nov 2021) in under a minute. It auto-populates all 11 required fields β€” name, DOB, payday, gross wage, base pay, allowances, deductions, overtime calc β€” and computes overtime (1.5Γ—), night (0.5Γ—), and holiday (1.5–2Γ—) allowances from the ordinary-wage hourly rate. The 4 social insurances (NPS, NHIS, EI, WCI) plus income / local tax deductions are filled in too. Output is A4 PDF + KakaoTalk-/email-ready images, with a CSV bulk mode for multi-employee runs. The starting point for SMB owners avoiding the up-to-β‚©5M-per-employee penalty for non-issuance.

Use cases

Scenario 1

Sub-5-employee SMB owner

A 3-person cafΓ© owner issues monthly PDF payslips without an accounting suite, sends them via KakaoTalk, and avoids the non-issuance penalty.

Scenario 2

Part-timer batch issue

A convenience-store franchisee enters 8 part-timers’ hourly + overtime + night-shift figures via CSV and exports 8 PDF payslips at once.

Scenario 3

Auto-applied overtime / night premiums

A manufacturing owner has 25h overtime + 10h night work auto-loaded onto ordinary-wage rates and verifies the correct allowance amounts.

Scenario 4

Labor-board audit prep

A workplace facing a labor-board audit pre-bundles the past 12 months of payslips into one PDF, ready for the inspector on request.

Frequently asked

Q. Who must issue payslips?
A. Every workplace with at least one employee must issue payslips on payday β€” written or digital β€” under Β§48. Non-issuance can incur up to β‚©5M per employee.
Q. Is delivery via KakaoTalk acceptable?
A. Yes β€” KakaoTalk, email, and intranet are all accepted as long as the employee can read a PDF or image. Keep delivery logs for at least 3 years.

A. Updated each January per government notice. The 2026 schedule (NPS 9% / NHIS 7.09% / EI 1.8%) is auto-applied.
Q. Is employee data safe?
A. All calc and PDF generation happens client-side. Employee names, RRNs, and account numbers are never uploaded.
