I built a free website to help you understand your payslip

A free website lets you upload a payslip in PDF and see it explained line by line, so you can understand where each figure comes from and why one month's pay differs from another's. Everything is processed in the browser and nothing is stored.

Explicaminomina.com was born out of a very specific problem: a paternity leave that stopped adding up. Between the days paid by the employer, what Social Security covers and items that appear and disappear, a payslip can turn into a puzzle. The tool translates each line into plain language.

## What the website does with your PDF

You upload the file and the website explains it item by item. The idea is that you know where each figure comes from and why your pay differs from one month to the next. You don't need to know how to read a payslip to use it.

The service is free. Privacy has been a priority from the start: everything is processed in the browser and nothing is stored, which matters because a payslip contains personal data.

## Why a payslip stops adding up

Starting and ending leave, periods paid by the employer versus those paid by Social Security, and items that come and go explain most discrepancies. Understanding who pays what is the first step to checking whether the amount is correct.

The tool is not a substitute for your HR department or an advisor. It's there so you can walk into that conversation knowing what to ask. If you have any doubts about an amount, the sensible thing is to consult a professional.
