Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between gross and net salary?

Gross salary is your total earnings before any deductions or taxes are applied. Net salary (also known as take-home pay) is the actual amount of money deposited into your bank account after income tax, social security, pension, and other deductions are subtracted.

How does hourly wage calculate to annual salary?

To convert hourly wage to annual salary, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per week, then multiply by 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour for 40 hours/week is: 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year.

What are pre-tax deductions?

Pre-tax deductions are amounts taken out of your gross salary before income tax is calculated (such as retirement fund contributions, health insurance premiums, or provident funds). This reduces your taxable income, thereby lowering your overall tax liability.

Why should I use an effective tax rate?

Most countries use progressive tax brackets where different portions of your income are taxed at different rates. The effective tax rate is your total tax paid divided by your total income—offering a simplified way to estimate your take-home pay without calculating complex bracket slices.
