WHAT PLANTILLA DOES
Pay stub scanner
Take a photo of your pay stub and Plantilla explains every line: what you earned, and what went to taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and benefits. It also points out a check that looks different from your recent ones.
W-4 helper
A step-by-step walkthrough so you fill out the form correctly and don't end up owing the IRS in April because too little was withheld.
W-2 scanner
Photograph your W-2 and understand every box. Learn how to file and where to get free help from the IRS or VITA.
Take-home pay calculator
From hourly pay to net pay, with overtime, tips, and shift differentials.
Direct deposit
Scan a voided check to read the bank, routing number, and account number, and keep them ready for your next job.
Benefits and leave
Compare medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) options. Check whether you qualify for FMLA and track your 12 weeks. Learn when short-term disability and workers' comp apply. Track your PTO.
Workplace rights
Federal and state minimum wage, overtime, breaks, OSHA, FMLA, discrimination, retaliation, pregnancy, and disability. When you must get your last check if you quit or are fired, how to file for unemployment, COBRA, and WARN notice. Rules for all 50 states and DC.
Wage theft
Recognize the most common forms (off-the-clock work, misclassification, tip stealing, illegal deductions), how to document it, and where to report it.
Documents
Track your work authorization, licenses, and certifications, with reminders before they expire. Photograph an HR letter and Plantilla explains it in your language.
Assistant
Ask about anything you don't understand, in your language. Turn a rough note into a polite English message for your supervisor or HR. Keep a private incident log.
Glossary
More than 55 pay, benefits, and labor-law terms explained in plain language.
10 LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Brazilian Portuguese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Polish, and Russian.
PRIVACY
Your pay stubs, documents, and notes stay on your phone. Photos are read on the device and are never uploaded.

No ads, no tracking, and we never sell your information.
