FAQ - Gross Net Check

Q: What is a Gross-Net Checker?

A Gross-Net Checker shows the difference between gross salary and net salary. Gross salary is your salary before employee taxes are deducted. Net salary is what you take home after those deductions. This tool only takes employee taxes into account. This means the Gross-Net Checker does not calculate total employer costs (“gross-gross”).

Q: Where does the tax and social security data come from?
