Net salary

Take-home pay after all deductions.

Net salary is what the employee actually receives after social insurance, taxes and other deductions are subtracted from the gross salary.

In practice

Companies often decide a target net salary first and then need the gross figure that produces it; a payroll system or calculator can work this out in both directions.
