Free Career & Business

Career and work tools for the paperwork around a job or a freelance business: a resume you can print to PDF, a cover letter, an invoice with tax and discounts, an email signature, a GPA or CGPA, and the maths of pay. The pay calculators cover a freelance rate that works backwards from the income you need, the real cost of a meeting, and, for the United States, overtime under federal and California rules, hourly pay converted to a salary and a take-home paycheck estimate.

The documents are built in your browser and saved with your browser's print-to-PDF function, so there is no account, nothing is stored and your details are not sent anywhere. Pay and tax figures are estimates; your employer's payroll or an accountant has the final say.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I save my resume or invoice as a PDF?
Use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P, or Command+P on a Mac) and choose Save as PDF as the destination. The page is laid out so the document prints cleanly, and no server is involved in making the file.
Is my resume or invoice data stored?
No. What you type stays in your browser and is not sent to Stax or saved to an account. Closing the tab clears it, so save the PDF, or copy the text, before you leave.
How should I work out a freelance rate?
The Freelance Rate Calculator starts from the take-home income you want, adds the tax rate and your overheads, and divides by the hours you can realistically bill, since not every working hour can be charged. It returns the minimum hourly rate that covers your needs. Price above it for the value you deliver.
How do US overtime rules differ from state to state?
Federal law generally requires overtime for hours over 40 in a week for covered employees, while California also counts daily hours and the seventh consecutive day. The Overtime Pay Calculator has both modes. States have their own rules and exemptions, so confirm with your employer or the labour department for your case.
How close is the paycheck estimate to a real pay slip?
It uses federal withholding, Social Security, Medicare, 401(k) and state tax inputs to estimate take-home pay. Real pay slips also include items such as health insurance, local taxes and employer-specific deductions, so expect a difference. Your payroll department's figure is the authority.
