How To Get A P60 Document

Updated: February 3rd 2025

If you lost your P60 document, or receive e-payroll and need a physical print copy you have a few options available, each has it’s own advantages which we discuss in this post below. But if you need it quickly simply use the 'create' button above.

1. Online Service
2. Contact Employer
3. HMRC Alternative Option

Top section of a 2025 P60 document

The employee P60 certificate is a summary of earnings and salary deductions. It covers the 12 month period to April 5th. Issued shortly after the year end. It should match the YTD totals on the last payslip you receive just before April 6th. It is important to keep this as a record of what you were paid during the tax year. If are still things you can do if you don't have yours...

Option 1. Get a P60 Online

A online service (like ours) is particularly useful when you need it quickly or trying to get non-standard options like previous years. You get electronic PDF copies within minutes and the option of printed P60 documents by post. If your employer only issues a e-P60 document online you can use that to get printed items on genuine stationery, for your records or administration tasks.

What Information is Required
If you have an electronic P60 you can enter all the data. But… if you lost your document, our system can calculate deductions for tax and national insurance based on your pay amount, tax code, etc.

Online P60 Styles & Price
We keep stock of genuine P60 stationery going back 20 years or more, and over that time designs have more or less standardised on a version of the Orange portrait layout. That said… as long as the correct information is included as specified by HMRC, layouts can differ. An e-P60 from your employer may look different to the print stationery approved by Revenue & Customs.

We charge £32.00 for a printed P60 delivered to your door. This includes an electronic copy by email. But… if you only need a PDF we discount the price by 50% so you pay £16.00

Option 2. P60 Document from Employer

We recommend asking your employer first as there are benefits; It should be free and could be more accurate if you’re unsure of any pay information.

HMRC requires the employer to help if duplicate copies are needed. This is straightforward if you need just the last one issued, but might be tricky for older years.

They also might not have the official P60 stationery so you could get just a print out by email. If so… we could transfer the data and print on correct stationery.

Note that if you left employment before April 5th you would not get a P60. You would have been issued a P45 which would summarise earnings up to the point your employment ended.

Option 3. HMRC Statement of Earnings

This is not a P60 document but does the same thing to all intents and purpose. It’s a print-out from HMRC of your yearly earnings and deductions as reported to them by the employer.

If you have your online tax account information you can log-in and download your statement of earnings. Alternatively, you can contact the helpline on 0300 200 3300 (Mon - Fri). You will need to verify your identity so prepare accordingly.

Alternatively, you can send a written request. Remember to include your name, address, National Insurance number, and relevant employment information.

Reminder: If you receive a statement of earnings you can use our service above if you would like it printed on the correct P60 stationery.

Conclusion

It’s worth starting with your employer as it shouldn’t cost you anything. However… you might just get a simple print-out and past years may be tricky.

HMRC can provide all the figures you need but it’s not a P60 document. It can be used to create an online P60 though.

Our online document service is the quickest option and we stock the correct stationery to create documents for this and previous years.

Replacement P60 Questions


What is a P60? - In payroll / employment terms the P60 is the ‘End of Year Certificate’ that summarises pay and deductions in the 12 month tax year to April 5th.

How do I get my P60? - Your employer will issue shortly after April 5th. If you have not received by the end of May ask for it. If you need a copy P60 you can order online and get a PDF and printed documents by post.

How do I get a P60 online? - This can mean two things. If the employer runs e-Payroll you would login to your secure portal and download. If you lost documents you can get a copy P60 online with your pay information. This is calculated from information you provide not directly from the employer. We show above how to order.

How to replace a lost P60 - Try the employer first. If they can’t help HMRC can tell you how much you earned. With that information you can get a replacement P60 in minutes by email. Post copies if required will follow.

Can I view my P60 online? - If the employer runs online payroll you can login and see your P60 then download if required. Otherwise you can create a digital copy P60 online which we forward as PDF document.

How do I get a P60 for the last 5 years? - Enter your payroll information using our secure form. At this stage select ‘Free Sample’ and we forward by email. You will need to do this for each year. After the last of your 5 years we will forward a payment link for three with two extra free of charge.

Do I get a P60 from previous employer? - Your P60 will be issued by the company you work for on April 5th. If you switched jobs during the year and handed in your P45 your employer will include the earnings and deductions from the previous employer on the document.

Is there a P60 template or P60 form download? - We don’t have a blank template but you can use our secure form to add data and we will create your P60 for you. You can download as PDF copies or we send printed forms.

Can I get a P60 copy from HMRC? - They will provide the information in a letter but not a P60 document. The P60 is issued by the employer and the data transferred electronically to HMRC. With the data they provide you could create a printed copy P60 online. You received a PDF in minutes and printed forms in a couple of days.

I lost my P60 what should I do? - Tell your employer and see if they can issue a replacement. If found someone might hand it in. It has both your home address and the company detail. Other than that, do nothing. You might worry about identity theft but a P60 on its own is useless without supporting documentation.

How to create a P60. - Our online platform uses pay tables from the last 20 years to generate replacement copy documents based on salary and tax code. We keep stock of stationery for each period and can supply printed documents if required.

How to get an old P60. - Using the correct pay table and forms for any given year you can create an old P60. The main information needed is the years salary and if you paid standard tax or had a special code.

Can I get a fake P60 for a loan? - Your online provider can’t check your earnings with the company or HMRC. You could enter any amount. That amount would be calculated correctly. However… a copy P60 won’t get you a loan on its own. It would be cross referenced with bank and your credit profile to verify earnings. A fake P60 would be useless.

Can I get a Free P60? - The employer will not charge for a P60 so yes you can get a free document. If you lose your copy and they can’t produce another then HMRC will give you the information without charge. If you then need to create a duplicate online, we give you free samples but if you want a full copy we charge a fee.

Which P60 style is correct? - There was once a single style. It was a blue landscape layout and this was the top copy of a 3 part NCR form. These were issued to employers by HMRC. As computerised payroll systems developed they let software developers create their own designs as long as the required information was included. Designs had to be approved by Inland Revenue. More recently an portrait style printed orange & blue is most recognisable but all are still valid.

Can I print the PDF? - Yes. The PDF is a 300dpi image. Much depends on your print settings. Make sure you are set to print at 100% at actual size (not fit to page). The genuine pay documents we supply will always be better.

Will I get a real P60? - Yes. We use popular stationery from the major software providers, and they are approved P60 forms. You will also receive an email copy generated from our software system which will match the chosen layout.

What information do I need to get a P60? - It's all quite standard. Your name & address. Employer details. Salary and if you have non-standard tax arrangements.
