What Is Gross Pay? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
An employee's total earnings before tax, social insurance and other deductions are taken.
Gross pay is the full amount an employee earns in a pay period before any deductions — the headline figure that includes basic salary plus any overtime, bonuses or allowances.
It contrasts with net pay, the amount actually received after tax, social insurance and other deductions.
Clear payslips that show how gross pay becomes net pay help employees understand their earnings and build trust in payroll.
