Where every line on a Georgia paystub comes from

Georgia employee paystubs in this app automatically show a single Georgia State Income Tax line. Georgia unemployment insurance is employer-paid and belongs on the calculator side rather than the employee paystub.

Employer Medicare
Employer Medicare tax is 1.45% of wages with no annual wage base limit.
Employer 1.45% No cap
Employer Social Security
Employer Social Security tax is 6.2% of taxable wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500.

Federal unemployment tax is an employer-paid tax. The gross FUTA rate is 6.0% on the first $7,000 of wages before any state-credit reduction adjustments.
Employer 6% $7,000
Federal Income Tax
Federal employee withholding uses the 2026 federal wage-bracket or percentage-method rules.

Georgia paystub law

What Georgia law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

Georgia has no comprehensive state-level wage statement statute — employers default to federal FLSA recordkeeping (29 CFR 516). Most Georgia employers provide itemized paystubs as a matter of practice through standard payroll vendors, but state law doesn't compel specific items or format. Wage payment claims go through the Georgia Department of Labor's wage-claim process. Georgia has a state income tax (graduated, top rate around 5.39% transitioning to a flat rate over time), which appears on most Georgia paystubs.

Using a Georgia paystub for proof of income

Atlanta's rental market is large and varied — high-rise downtown buildings often follow 3× rent gross with 30 days of stubs; suburban Atlanta and the Athens / Augusta markets tend to be looser. Film-production workers (Pinewood, EUE/Screen Gems studios — Georgia is a top US film state) often have project-by-project pay that produces variable paystubs; landlords near Atlanta studios usually accept project-rate W-2s plus contract documents.
