About Marcus

Marcus writes the pay stub and payroll guides on ePayStubs. He spends his time on the parts of a paycheck people most often get stuck on: gross pay, withholdings, deductions, net pay, pay schedules, and year to date totals.

His goal is to take pay period math and payroll rules and rewrite them as steps readers can repeat with their own numbers. Each guide is checked against current federal and state references before publication and updated when rules change.

Areas of focus

Reading a Pay Stub How each line connects from gross pay to take home pay
Gross to Net Math Walking the full calculation from earnings to net pay
Deductions Pre tax and post tax deductions and how they affect pay
Pay Schedules and YTD Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly, and cumulative totals
