Frequently asked questions
Quickly find answers to common questions
What does “take-home pay” mean here?+
It is the amount on a regular monthly payslip after payroll withholding, including social-insurance premiums and payroll tax credits. Separately paid holiday allowance and bonuses are excluded from that target month and shown in annual totals.
Why is this an estimate?+
We use the official payroll-table result where available, but pension arrangements and employer-specific settings can still differ. The inverse can also have multiple close gross matches because payroll tables use stepped amounts.
Can I include holiday allowance and a 13th month?+
Yes. Payslip details are enabled by default with 8% holiday allowance paid separately. You can also add a 13th month/bonus and a monthly pension contribution.
