Gross wages
What is gross wages?
Gross wages refer to an employee's total income before taxes and mandatory deductions. This includes base salary, bonuses, overtime pay, and any extra compensation for special working conditions.
For example, if an employee’s salary is $1,000 per month, that amount represents their gross wages. However, after deducting income tax, social security contributions, and other withholdings, their take-home pay (net wages) will be lower.
Understanding gross wages is essential for employers when budgeting, planning finances, and managing payroll. Since taxes, pension contributions, and other deductions are calculated from gross wages, they serve as a key financial category in labor management.
