Important: in Mexico the tax-valid payroll receipt is the CFDI de nómina, an XML stamped through SAT. A PayslipKit PDF is not a CFDI; use it as an internal or printed receipt next to the CFDI your payroll provider issues. PayslipKit does not calculate ISR or IMSS, and your data stays on your device.

What must a payslip show in Mexico?
Article 101 of the Federal Labour Law (LFT) requires that the worker can see the breakdown of earnings and deductions and receives payment receipts in print or by other means; printed receipts need the worker's handwritten signature, and payroll CFDIs (electronic invoices) can replace them. Article 804 LFT obliges the employer to keep salary receipts or payroll records and produce them in court. Under tax law (Income Tax Law art. 99, section III) the employer must issue a CFDI de nómina for each payment, which PayslipKit cannot produce.
Items the rules require (in short):
- Employer's name
- Employer's tax or registration number
- Employee's name
- Employee's tax or social-security number
- Pay period
- Payment date
- Days worked
- Each earning itemised (basic pay, allowances, bonuses)
- Each deduction itemised with its amount
- Net pay
- For tax purposes the employer must issue an electronic payroll invoice (CFDI de nómina: CFDI 4.0 with payroll complement 1.2, stamped and verifiable with SAT). A PDF made with PayslipKit is NOT a CFDI and has no tax validity
- The worker must be able to see the breakdown of earnings (percepciones) and deductions
- A printed receipt is valid only with the worker's handwritten signature; a CFDI can replace the printed receipt
- The employer must keep salary payment receipts and produce them in labour proceedings (LFT art. 804)

FAQ
Does a PayslipKit receipt replace the CFDI de nómina?
No. Employers must issue a CFDI de nómina (CFDI 4.0 with payroll complement 1.2) stamped through SAT. A PDF made with PayslipKit is not a CFDI and has no tax validity.
Must a payroll receipt be signed in Mexico?
A printed receipt is valid only with the worker's handwritten signature (LFT art. 101). A payroll CFDI can replace the printed receipt.
How long must payroll receipts be kept?
Under LFT art. 804 the employer keeps salary receipts for the last year of employment and one year after it ends. Tax and social-security rules may require longer retention.
Does PayslipKit calculate ISR and IMSS?
No. The preset only adds the line labels; you enter all amounts yourself.
