How to Calculate Your Net Salary?

Calculating your net salary involves subtracting taxes and any additional deductions from your gross salary. The formula to determine your net salary is:

Net Salary (NS) is calculated as:

§§ NS = GS - (GS \times TR / 100) - D §§

where:

  • § NS § — net salary
  • § GS § — gross salary
  • § TR § — tax rate (as a percentage)
  • § D § — deductions

This formula allows you to see how much money you will actually take home after all mandatory deductions.

Example:

  • Gross Salary (§ GS §): $5000
  • Tax Rate (§ TR §): 20%
  • Deductions (§ D §): $500

Net Salary Calculation:

§§ NS = 5000 - (5000 \times 20 / 100) - 500 = 5000 - 1000 - 500 = 3500 §§
