Best for: Small business payroll paid by hand
Not every business needs payroll software. If you pay a handful of people on a regular cycle, a payroll checkbook does the job in less time than logging into a system, and it costs a fraction of what a subscription does.
These checks are laid out for exactly that. Each one carries a perforated stub with room for the pay detail your records require, so the employee gets the check and you keep the breakdown attached to the payment rather than filed somewhere separately.
Three checks print to a page, which keeps your cost per check down. For a small team paid twice monthly, a 600 check book covers a long stretch without reordering.
Why the Stub Matters on Payroll
Payroll carries a higher record keeping burden than most payments. You need to know who was paid, for which period, and what the payment covered, and you need that record to survive longer than a bank statement line.
The perforated stub gives you that. It separates cleanly when you hand over the check, and the portion you retain stays with the book in date order. When you come to reconcile a quarter or answer a query from an employee months later, the record is where you left it.
Written by Hand, No Software Required
These are manual checks. There is no printer to load, no payroll software to configure, and no alignment to test. Open the book, write the check, complete the stub.
That suits businesses paying a small team where a full payroll system is more machinery than the task justifies, and situations where you need to issue a payment immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled run.
If you do run payroll through accounting software, computer checks print directly from your program. Check on top is the standard payroll format there, with two stubs beneath for pay detail. Using QuickBooks? See QuickBooks checks.
Perforated Stubs and Binder Fit
Each stub is perforated, so it separates cleanly rather than tearing raggedly across your notes. The checks are hole punched to fit a 7 ring binder, which keeps your payroll records ordered and in sequence rather than loose in a drawer.
The binder is sold separately. If you do not already have one, add a 7 ring binder to your order so everything arrives together. If you are reordering and already own one, these pages drop straight in.
Two quantities are available.
300 checks. Around $0.46 per check.
600 checks. Around $0.35 per check, our best value option.
Stepping up to 600 cuts roughly a quarter off your per check cost. No code or promotion is needed, since the saving is built into the quantity you select.
Payroll is predictable in a way most payments are not, which makes it easier to judge quantity. Multiply your team size by pay periods per year and you have a reasonable estimate of annual usage. Because your bank details do not change between boxes, buying ahead carries no downside beyond storage.
A choice of check colors is available, selected during ordering. You see a layout preview before anything goes to production.
That preview is exactly what it says. Before printing, our team finalizes the alignment and removes the white background, so the finished check is properly set up rather than printed straight from the on screen version.
Want your logo on the checks? Email your artwork to sales@checksnextday.com with your order number in the subject line. Black artwork on a white background in BMP or JPG format reproduces most cleanly. Payroll checks are one of the few documents every employee looks at closely, so a clean logo is worth the two minutes it takes.
Payroll is one of five handwritten formats we carry. If your payments extend beyond wages, another book may suit better or work alongside this one.
Accounts payable checks are laid out for supplier and vendor invoices. Multi purpose business checks cover general disbursements where payments do not fit one category.
Pocket checks are compact and travel with you, supplied with a vinyl cover and deposit slips. Executive deskbook checks use the same three to a page layout in a presentation focused book.
Plenty of businesses run two books, keeping payroll separate from everything else so the sequences stay clean and payroll records are easy to isolate. Browse everything at manual business checks, or see all three per page options at 3 on a page checks.
It comes down to team size and how your payroll is calculated.
Handwritten payroll checks suit small teams where you already know the figures and writing the check takes less time than opening software. They also work when you need to issue a payment outside the normal cycle.
Printed checks win once you are paying enough people that batch processing saves real time, or when your payroll calculation already lives in software. Computer checks 3 on a page bring the cost per check down considerably at volume.
Printing across several bank accounts? Blank check stock lets you add the bank details yourself. Need checks on a personal account? See personal checks, or compare every format at business checks.
Four details complete the order: your bank routing number, your account number, your starting check number, and your business name and address as it should print. All four appear on an existing check drawn on the same account.
Routing and account numbers. Both sit along the bottom edge of any current check.
Starting check number. Continue your existing sequence so your payroll records stay unbroken and your bank does not query duplicates.
Business name and address exactly as it should appear on the face of the check.
Mailing checks to remote staff? Add double window envelopes to the same order, sized so the payee and address show through correctly without refolding. An endorsement stamp speeds up the back of the check when depositing.
We have printed business checks since 1997. That is nearly three decades of doing one thing rather than maintaining a broad catalog, and it shows in how the checks are produced. Alignment is finalized by our team before printing and logo setup is included at no charge.
Orders are placed online through a secure checkout, which keeps processing quick and accurate. We accept all major credit cards and PayPal. Sales tax applies only to orders within New York State, and businesses holding an exemption can email the form after checkout. Customer reviews from verified buyers appear further down this page.
