1. What is Salary After Tax?

The after-tax salary (net salary) is the amount of money you actually take home after all tax deductions have been subtracted from your gross salary. This is the amount you'll receive in your bank account.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Net \) — Your take-home pay after taxes
• \( Gross \) — Your total salary before any deductions
• \( Tax \) — The total tax amount calculated as \( Gross \times (Tax Rate / 100) \)

Explanation: The calculator first calculates the tax amount based on the tax rate you provide, then subtracts this from your gross salary to give your net salary.

3. Importance of After-Tax Calculation

Details: Knowing your after-tax salary helps with personal budgeting, financial planning, and understanding your true earnings. It's the amount you actually have available for living expenses, savings, and investments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your gross salary in USD and the applicable tax rate as a percentage. The calculator will show your net salary and the tax amount deducted.
