Frequently Asked Questions

Take-home pay (net pay) is your gross salary minus all deductions including federal tax, state tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), 401(k) contributions, health insurance, and other withholdings. It's the actual amount deposited in your bank account.

Pre-tax deductions (401k, HSA, health insurance premiums) reduce your taxable income before taxes are calculated. A $500/month 401k contribution might only reduce take-home by $350-400 after tax savings. This effectively gives you a discount on these benefits.

Reduce taxable income, lowering tax. $500 pre-tax costs only ~$350-400 after tax savings.

First paychecks may differ due to: prorated pay for partial pay period, benefit waiting periods not yet started, one-time deductions (uniforms, parking), tax withholding adjustments from W-4, or timing differences between hire date and pay period.

Prorated pay, benefit timing, one-time deductions, or W-4 adjustments can cause differences.
