Net to Gross
A method for calculating a paycheck by specifying what the net amount should be (after taxes and deductions are
withheld from the employee’s wages), then calculating what the gross wages must be to achieve the specified net
amount.
The net amount is specified, along with the applicable taxes and deductions for the employee, and the gross amount that
would result in that net is determined. For this method, it is the net that is held constant and the gross varies based on the
tax and deduction options that you specify for the employee.
