The Net-to-Gross Paycheck Calculator is a powerful tool that helps you understand the relationship between your take-home pay (net salary) and your total earnings before deductions (gross salary).
When you receive a job offer, the salary is usually presented as a gross amount. However, what actually lands in your bank account is the net amount after taxes and deductions. This tool reverses the process to help you determine what gross salary you need to achieve your desired take-home pay.
Our calculator uses your net salary, tax rate, and other deductions to compute your gross salary. The formula is:
Gross Salary = (Net Salary + Deductions) / (1 - (Tax Rate / 100))
Determine the gross salary you need to request to achieve your desired take-home pay.
Understand how taxes and deductions impact your actual income for better financial planning.
Compare job offers accurately by understanding the real value of different compensation packages.
Gain insight into how much of your earnings go toward taxes and other deductions.
Tip: Remember that tax rates vary by location, income level, and filing status. For the most accurate results, use the specific tax rate that applies to your situation.
Gross salary is the total amount of money you earn before any taxes or deductions are taken out. Net salary (also called take-home pay) is the amount you actually receive after all deductions have been subtracted from your gross salary. These deductions typically include federal, state, and local taxes, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, and other benefits.
Your gross salary is higher than your net salary because various mandatory and voluntary deductions are subtracted before you receive your paycheck. Mandatory deductions include federal, state, and local taxes, Social Security (FICA), and Medicare. Voluntary deductions may include retirement plan contributions (401k), health insurance premiums, life insurance, flexible spending accounts (FSA), and other benefits you've elected to participate in.
