Frequently Asked Questions About Pay and Taxes

Gross Pay is your total salary or wages earned before any deductions. Net Pay (or take-home pay) is the amount of Money you receive after all mandatory deductions, such as federal tax, state tax, and FICA (Social Security and Medicare), have been subtracted.

This simple tool relies on your estimated average effective tax rate. For exact Tax calculations, you should use our dedicated, detailed Income Tax Calculator which factors in filing status, deductions, and tax brackets. This quick estimator is best for rough budgeting.

Budgeting using your Net Pay is crucial because it represents the actual Money you have available to spend. Creating a budget based on your higher Gross Pay can lead to overspending and difficulties meeting financial goals.
