Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gross and net pay?
Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you receive after taxes and deductions are subtracted.
What percentage goes from gross to net?
Typically 20-30% of gross pay goes to taxes and deductions. A $50,000 salary usually nets around $38,000-$40,000 depending on state and filing status.
Does gross pay include benefits?
Gross pay is your salary before deductions. Employer-paid benefits (health insurance, 401k match) are separate and not included in gross pay figures.
