LeoFolio gives small teams a focused way to create pay-period records, earnings statements, expense reports, and tax-form recipient copies from information they control—without requiring an account or recurring software subscription.
Use LeoFolio when you already know the underlying payroll or business facts and need an organized, professional-format record—not an outsourced payroll department.
LeoFolio is useful for owner-managed businesses and small teams that prepare a limited number of records, want per-document pricing, and prefer to review each result before purchase. Workspace can reduce repeated entry when the same company or worker details appear again.
Use a full payroll provider when you need automatic pay runs, direct deposit, tax deposits, government filing, benefits administration, employee portals, time clocks, or multi-user cloud permissions. LeoFolio does not provide those services.
A practical workflow
The safest workflow keeps your own source information in control and uses LeoFolio as the calculation and document layer.
Gather the pay period, earnings, deductions, tax settings, expenses, or recipient information from your own business records.
Save company and worker profile fields locally in Workspace when repeated entry would slow the next document.
Select an individual tool or small-business pack, inspect the preview, and correct the entered facts before purchase.
Download the PDF and keep it with the underlying business records, filing confirmations, and payment evidence that support it.
Tools for the job
Start with the record you need today. A forced bundle is not required.
Choose a complimentary, standard, professional, advanced, or premium pay statement according to the detail and presentation required. Supported paid flows validate and recalculate final figures server-side.
Keep business costs, categories, receipts, reimbursements, and mileage in a separate record instead of forcing them into a wage statement.
Create W-2, 1099-NEC, or 1099-MISC recipient copies when appropriate. These tools do not transmit a filing to the IRS or another agency.
Workspace stores reusable profile information in the current browser. It is not a shared cloud account, employee portal, or multi-user client database.
Review official-source links, required statement details, delivery notes, retention summaries, and review dates across all 50 states plus Washington, DC.
Use focused calculators for overtime, final pay, YTD caps, time cards, and related checks before choosing a document path.
Set expectations early
The distinction prevents a small business from buying the wrong kind of tool.

Before you start
No. It is a focused document and calculation layer. It does not move money, run automatic payroll, remit taxes, file forms, administer benefits, or provide an employee portal.
You can create recurring records and use browser-local Workspace profiles to reduce repeated entry. You remain responsible for the completeness and accuracy of each period’s inputs and YTD basis.
No. LeoFolio creates recipient-copy documentation. Required government filing, delivery, correction, and retention obligations remain with the responsible business or its filing provider.
No. LeoFolio verifies parts of its own research, calculation, template, and release process. It does not independently verify identity, employment, wages, or user-entered facts.
