Your final paystub of the year should closely match your W-2 form. It shows your total gross wages, federal tax withheld, state tax withheld, Social Security, and Medicare contributions. If you haven't received your W-2, your last paystub can be used to file with Form 4852 (substitute W-2).
Self-employed individuals and contractors use their paystub records to calculate quarterly estimated tax payments. Tracking your income period by period helps avoid underpayment penalties.
