Payroll, Taxes, and Paystubs — All Done for You

Payroll FAQs

• How does Lettuce calculate my reasonable salary?

  Lettuce analyzes your business income, occupation data, and federal compliance benchmarks to determine a defensible "reasonable salary" that optimizes your tax efficiency while staying compliant.

• When does payroll run?

  Payroll runs automatically each month. Lettuce handles the calculation, withholding, and payroll processing for you, so you don't have to manage it by hand.

• Are payroll taxes automatically filed and paid?

  Yes — Lettuce automatically calculates, withholds, files, and remits all required federal and state payroll taxes on your behalf.

• Do I still need to make quarterly estimated tax payments?

  In most supported setups, no. Lettuce pays taxes through payroll on an ongoing basis, so you generally don't need to manage separate quarterly estimated payments yourself.

• Will I get pay stubs for each payroll run?

  Absolutely. Each payroll generates a detailed paystub showing gross pay, withholdings, and net pay, which is stored securely in your dashboard.

• What if my income changes from month to month?

  Lettuce is built for uneven solo-business income. Your payroll adjusts around your actual business activity, and if you have a month with no income, Lettuce can still run payroll at a minimal amount to help maintain compliance.
