About Net Salary Calculator
What the Net Salary Calculator does
The Net Salary Calculator shows how much of your gross salary actually reaches your bank account after taxes and deductions.
It converts annual, monthly, weekly, or hourly pay into net salary by subtracting estimated income taxes, social contributions, and other key deductions.
Net vs gross salary basics
Gross salary is the total amount an employer promises to pay before any taxes or deductions are taken out.
Net salary—often called take‑home pay—is what is left after income tax, social security contributions, provident fund or pension, and other mandatory or voluntary deductions.
- Common deductions: These may include income tax, social contributions (such as Social Security or National Insurance), retirement plans, health insurance, and professional tax or local levies, depending on the country.
- Effective tax rate: The calculator can show your total taxes as a percentage of gross pay so you can compare offers or understand how much tax you actually pay.
How the Net Salary Calculator works
- Step 1 – Convert to annual gross: The tool converts your input (hourly, weekly, etc.) into an annual gross salary using standard work‑week assumptions or country‑specific pay periods.
- Step 2 – Subtract pre‑tax deductions: It removes retirement contributions, health insurance, and other pre‑tax benefits from gross to find taxable income.
- Step 3 – Apply tax rates and contributions: The calculator applies flat or progressive income tax rates and adds social contributions such as Social Security, Medicare, or similar local charges.
- Step 4 – Subtract post‑tax deductions: It then subtracts any post‑tax costs (for example, union dues or garnishments) to arrive at final net salary.
- Step 5 – Convert back to chosen period: Finally, it expresses net salary per year, month, week, or day so you can compare offers and plan your budget.
Outputs you will see
- Net salary by period: Take‑home pay shown annually and for your chosen pay frequency (monthly, weekly, etc.).
- Total tax and deductions: A combined amount of all taxes and deductions, sometimes with separate lines for income tax, social security, and other items.
