# Connecting Your Payroll

> Link your employer's payroll to see your full pay - gross income, deductions, taxes, and pay stubs - not just deposits.

A payroll connection is separate from a bank connection. While a bank connection pulls balances and transactions, a payroll connection pulls your **employment and pay** data: employer, pay schedule, gross/net pay, deductions, taxes, and pay stubs.

You can have both - and on the free plan, the payroll slot is separate from the bank slot.

## How to connect payroll

<Note>
  **On the web** ([app.mytruv.com](https://app.mytruv.com)) - open **Connections** from the sidebar. In the **Add Connection** section, choose the **Payroll** card and sign in to your payroll provider through the Truv widget.

  **On iOS** - go to **Settings → Connections**, tap **Add new**, and choose **Payroll**. You can also tap the **"There's more to your pay than deposits"** banner on the Income screen - it opens the same flow.
</Note>

After you sign in, MyTruv starts pulling your recent pay periods. The first sync usually appears within a few seconds.

## What you unlock

A payroll connection adds detailed pay data on top of what bank deposits already show:

* **Gross vs. net pay** - what you actually earned vs. what hit your bank account
* **Deductions** - taxes (federal, state, FICA), insurance, retirement contributions, other withholdings
* **Employer info** - company name, role, pay schedule, tenure
* **Pay statements** - downloadable pay stubs (provider-dependent)

For details on how to read this data, see:

* [Income overview](/income/income-overview)
* [Viewing pay statements](/income/viewing-pay-statements)
* [Understanding deductions](/income/understanding-deductions)
* [Tax withholdings](/income/tax-withholdings)
* [Tracking multiple employers](/income/tracking-multiple-employers)

## Free vs Pro plan

* **Free plan** - 1 payroll connection (separate from the 1 bank connection slot)
* **Pro plan** - unlimited connections of both types

If you have multiple jobs, Pro is what you need to connect them all.

## Refreshing payroll data

<Note>
  On the web, payroll connections **don't have a manual Refresh button**, and the **Sync All** button on the Connections page only syncs bank connections. Payroll data syncs automatically on a backend schedule when your provider posts a new pay period.

  On iOS, you can pull down to refresh on the Income screen to pick up newly synced pay periods.
</Note>

## Managing a payroll connection

Once connected, a payroll connection lives alongside your bank connections and you manage it the same way:

* View its status: see [Managing your connections](/accounts/managing-connections)
* Re-authenticate if it breaks: see [Reconnecting accounts](/accounts/reconnecting-accounts)
* Remove it: see [Removing an account](/accounts/removing-an-account)

<Tip>If your employer's payroll provider isn't supported, MyTruv still tracks your income from bank deposits - you just won't see gross-vs-net, deductions, or pay stubs until a payroll connection is added.</Tip>
