FAQ
Salary Certificate — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions UAE founders, freelancers and SMEs ask about the salary certificate.
- Is the FoundersNeed Salary Certificate Maker really free?
- Yes — the first 100 letters every 30 days are free for every user, no signup required. Upgrade to Pro (79 AED/month) if you issue more than 100 documents per month or want saved history.
- Do I need a TRN to use the Salary Certificate Maker?
- No. A TRN (15-digit FTA tax number) is only required if your business is VAT-registered. If you do have one, add it to your saved company profile and FoundersNeed will print it on every letter automatically.
- Does the Salary Certificate Maker support 5% VAT?
- Salary Certificate letters usually don't carry a VAT line. If you need a tax invoice instead, use the FoundersNeed Invoice Maker.
- Can I add my company logo?
- Yes. Upload your logo once on the Salary Certificate Maker and FoundersNeed embeds it at the top of every PDF you download. Pro users can save it permanently in their reusable business profile.
- What format does the salary certificate download in?
- A clean, print-ready PDF that renders identically on desktop, tablet and mobile. You can also print directly from the browser or share the document over WhatsApp and email.
- Is the Salary Certificate Maker usable across the GCC, not just the UAE?
- Yes. The defaults are UAE-localised (AED, 5% VAT, emirate addresses), but every field is editable so the Salary Certificate Maker works for KSA, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait — just swap the currency and tax line.
- Where is my salary certificate stored?
- Free users keep nothing on FoundersNeed servers — the PDF is generated in your browser and downloaded directly. Pro users can opt in to save full letter history to the dashboard for instant retrieval.
- Can I edit a salary certificate after I download it?
- Open the Salary Certificate Maker again, change any field, and re-download. Pro users can reopen any saved letter from the dashboard, tweak it, and re-export — useful for revisions, addendums and reissues.
