    • Net Pay is what remains after mandatory and voluntary deductions (taxes, insurance, retirement contributions).
  3. Purpose:

    • Gross Pay gives an overview of an employee's total earnings potential.
    • Net Pay reflects the actual amount an employee receives and can use for personal expenses.
  4. Impact:

    • Gross Pay is important for understanding an employee's compensation package and for tax and accounting purposes.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example to illustrate the difference:

  • Base Salary: $3,000
  • Overtime Pay: $200
  • Bonuses: $300

Gross Pay: $3,000 + $200 + $300 = $3,500

  • Taxes: $500
  • Insurance Premiums: $100
  • Retirement Contributions: $150

Total Deductions: $500 + $100 + $150 = $750

Net Pay: $3,500 - $750 = $2,750

In this example, the gross pay is $3,500, while the net pay is $2,750.
