Create a Modeled Paycheck

Stanford employees can use the Paycheck Modeler in Axess to estimate their future net pay based on anticipated changes in earnings, deductions or tax withholding status.

Note: The Paycheck Modeler is unavailable for a short period of time each pay period while paychecks are being generated. A pop-up message will alert you if the Paycheck Modeler is unavailable.
