Toast Payroll: Attached Quick Calc Edits

Last updated: Oct 20, 2026, 12:18 PM

Question

Can a quick calc be edited once it's attached to a payroll?

Answer

Once you attach a quick calc to a payroll, it cannot be edited, only deleted. When you attach it to payroll, the exact gross and net amounts will be recorded on your next payroll report, ready for you to document the manual check you've written. This safeguard ensures the amounts are accurate, as we might assume the manual check has already been processed.

 

If you need to adjust the amounts for a manual check that hasn't been given to the employee yet, remove the existing Quick Calc and create a new one. Follow these steps:

  1. Log into payroll.toasttab.com.
  2. Navigate to Payroll > More actions > Manual checks (look towards the right side of the screen on desktop devices; look towards the bottom of the screen on mobile devices).
    1. When the Toast Web and Toast Payroll navigation menus are both visible, select Payroll from the Toast Payroll navigation sub-menu. If you don't see the Toast Payroll sub-menu, selecting Payroll from the Toast Web navigation menu will expand it.
  3. Select a payroll from the drop-down menu.
  4. Select the trashcan icon to delete the quick calc. If you need to delete several, use the checkboxes and select Delete at the bottom.
  5. You can now return to the employee's profile and create a new quick calc.
