How it's calculated
Gross to net: net = gross − gross × percentage − fixed deductions.
Net to gross: gross = (net + fixed deductions) ÷ (1 − percentage). Real income tax is usually progressive and social-insurance contributions may be capped, so the true figure can differ — use your payroll software or the official calculator for exact amounts.
Results are estimates from simple formulas, not tax or legal advice. Statutory rules (minimum wage, overtime premiums, tax) differ by country and contract — check the official source.

What is the difference between gross and net pay?
Gross pay is the total earned before deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what the employee receives after tax, social insurance and other deductions.
Why is this only an approximation?
Income tax often rises in brackets and depends on personal allowances, and some contributions have ceilings. A single percentage cannot capture that exactly.
