Net salary is the pay an employee receives after employee income taxes and social-security contributions are deducted from gross salary, with any applicable allowances or credits taken into account. The calculation depends on the country, period, household assumptions, and payroll rules.
Open CalculatorGross salary is the contractual amount before employee deductions. Net salary is the resulting take-home amount, while total employer cost can be higher again because it may include employer social contributions and payroll taxes.
A calculator result is an estimate unless it uses the worker's exact tax residence, allowances, dependants, contribution ceilings, and other circumstances. Cross-country comparisons should state the assumptions rather than treating one net figure as universal.
