How to calculate your net salary?

Your net salary is the amount you take home after all deductions have been made from your gross salary. The formula to calculate net salary is as follows:

Net Salary (NS) is calculated using the formula:

§§ NS = GS - TD §§

where:

  • § NS § — net salary
  • § GS § — gross salary
  • § TD § — total deductions

Total Deductions (TD) can be calculated as:

§§ TD = (ITR + SSC + PC) / 100 \times GS + OD §§

where:

  • § ITR § — income tax rate (as a percentage)
  • § SSC § — social security contributions (as a percentage)
  • § PC § — pension contributions (as a percentage)
  • § OD § — other deductions (in currency)

Example:

  1. Gross Salary (GS): $5000
  2. Income Tax Rate (ITR): 20%
  3. Social Security Contributions (SSC): 5%
  4. Pension Contributions (PC): 3%
  5. Other Deductions (OD): $100

Calculating Total Deductions (TD):

§§ TD = (20 + 5 + 3) / 100 \times 5000 + 100 = 1000 + 100 = 1100 §§

Calculating Net Salary (NS):

§§ NS = 5000 - 1100 = 3900 §§

Thus, your net salary would be $3900.
