How take-home pay works
Your employer deducts income tax and social contributions before paying you. What is left – your net or take-home pay – is what reaches your bank account. The rules depend on your country, so the calculator pre-selects yours from your location and lets you change it.
Take-home pay = Gross salary − Income tax − Social contributions − Pre-tax deductions

Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated?
Take-home (net) pay is your gross salary minus income tax, payroll contributions (Social Security and Medicare in the US, National Insurance in the UK, CPP and EI in Canada) and any pre-tax deductions such as pension or 401(k) contributions.
Do 401(k) or pension contributions raise my take-home pay?
They lower it, but by less than you put in. Traditional 401(k) and RRSP contributions reduce income tax, and UK salary-sacrifice pension contributions reduce both income tax and National Insurance, so each £1 or $1 saved costs you less than £1 or $1 of net pay.
Why is state or provincial tax optional?
Most US states and every Canadian province use their own progressive brackets. The calculator applies no-tax and flat-tax US states automatically; for others, enter your approximate effective rate to include it.
Do Gulf countries tax salaries?
No – the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman do not levy personal income tax on employment income. Nationals usually pay a social-insurance contribution, which you can enter.
