Frequently Asked Questions
What is net pay?
Net pay is the amount deposited into your bank account after all mandatory deductions are subtracted from your gross salary. These deductions include federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%), plus any voluntary pre-tax deductions you've elected such as 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums.
How is net pay different from take-home pay?
Net pay and take-home pay refer to the same thing in most contexts — the money you actually receive after all deductions. The term 'net pay' is more commonly used in payroll and HR contexts, while 'take-home pay' is the everyday term. The key distinction is that net pay can also include post-tax deductions (like Roth 401k contributions) that reduce what you receive but don't affect taxable income.
How do pre-tax deductions affect net pay?
Pre-tax deductions reduce your taxable income before federal and state income taxes are calculated — but they do not reduce FICA (Social Security and Medicare). For example, a $6,000 annual 401(k) contribution reduces your federal taxable income by $6,000. If you're in the 22% federal bracket, that saves $1,320 in federal taxes. However, you still pay Social Security and Medicare on the full gross salary.
What is the difference between net pay and gross pay?
Gross pay is your salary before any deductions — the number on your offer letter. Net pay is what you actually receive after the government takes its share and your benefit elections are applied. The gap between gross and net is typically 20–35% for most workers, depending on tax bracket, filing status, state taxes, and deduction elections.

Do post-tax deductions reduce taxable income?
No. Post-tax deductions — such as Roth 401(k) contributions, life insurance premiums, or after-tax garnishments — are taken from your paycheck after income taxes and FICA are calculated. They reduce the amount deposited to your bank account, but they do not lower your federal or state taxable income. Pre-tax deductions (traditional 401k, HSA, FSA, health insurance) are the ones that reduce your tax bill.
