Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert gross salary to net?
Net salary = Gross salary - Federal income tax - State income tax - Social Security (6.2%) - Medicare (1.45%). Federal tax is computed on taxable income (gross minus standard deduction) using progressive brackets. The result is your actual take-home pay.
What is the difference between gross and net salary?
Gross salary is your total pay before any deductions. Net salary (take-home pay) is what you actually receive after federal tax, state tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any voluntary deductions (401k, health insurance) are subtracted.
What percentage of gross salary is net?
Most workers take home 65-75% of their gross salary. For a $75,000 salary (single, 5% state tax), you keep roughly $56,000-$58,000 (about 75%). Higher earners keep a smaller percentage due to progressive tax brackets.
