Paycheck stub
Gross pay
A pay statement, also known as a pay stub or paycheck stub, is a document provided by an employer to employees that outlines their earnings for a specific pay period. It typically includes details such as gross pay, deductions (like taxes and benefits), and net pay, which is the amount the employee takes home. Pay statements also often provide information on year-to-date earnings and deductions, helping employees track their income and tax withholdings throughout the year.

A net paycheck is the amount of money an employee takes home after all deductions have been made from their gross pay. These deductions typically include taxes (federal, state, and local), Social Security, Medicare, retirement contributions, and other withholdings. The net paycheck reflects the actual earnings available for personal use, as opposed to the gross pay, which is the total earnings before deductions.

Common deductions on a paycheck include federal and state income taxes, Social Security and Medicare taxes, and any voluntary deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions.

To calculate taxes out of your paycheck, you need to know your gross income, deductions, and tax rates. Subtract deductions from your gross income to get your taxable income. Then, apply the appropriate tax rates to calculate the amount of taxes owed. This will give you the amount that will be deducted from your paycheck for taxes.
