What your payslip does not tell you

A payslip has two numbers that matter. The gross is what your employer pays, the net is what arrives in your account. Everything in between is tax, social security and whatever else your country deducts, and those rules are different in every country. This calculator does not try to guess them. It takes both numbers from your own payslip, so the answer is right wherever you live.

What the payslip leaves out is what that net is worth. Divide it by the hours you actually work, rather than the hours in your contract, and the number moves. Take 4,500 gross and 3,300 net on a 40-hour contract. Forty hours a week is 173 hours a month, so that is 19.04 net per hour. Work 48 hours instead and the same 3,300 becomes 15.87 per hour, a fifth less, for the same money.

The gap between gross and net is worth seeing as one number too. In the example above it is 1,200 a month, which is 14,400 over a year and 27% of the gross. That is the share of your pay you never touch.

For the Netherlands there is a version that does know the rules: netto salaris berekenen, with the actual brackets and tax credits. Everywhere else, your payslip is the better source.
