Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gross salary and net salary?
Gross salary is the full contracted figure before anything is removed. Net salary, or take-home pay, is what actually reaches your bank account after income tax, national insurance or social security, pension contributions and any student loan or benefit deductions.
Does gross salary include bonuses?
Your gross salary is normally the fixed base figure only. Bonuses, overtime and commission are additional gross earnings and are usually quoted separately — total gross pay for a year covers all of them, which is why a payslip's year-to-date figure can exceed your stated salary.
