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.
