Understanding the difference between gross income and net income is essential when evaluating your paycheck.
Gross income is the total amount you earn before any taxes or deductions. This includes salary, hourly wages, bonuses, and commissions.
Net income is the amount you take home after taxes and deductions are subtracted from your gross income.
Job offers are usually quoted in gross income, but your actual spending power depends on net income.
