What is the difference between gross and net salary?

The net salary is what you actually receive. Gross salary is what you receive before any withholding or taxes are taken out. For example, if you earn $1000 per month, that would be your gross pay. That amount is reduced by taxes, health, and welfare allowances, among others. If those sum to USD $150, your net salary would be USD $850.

When you apply for a job on Get on Board, you must specify your expected net salary in dollars. Remember to use whole numbers and increments of 50 (for example, 900, 950, 1250). If you see a validation error, review what values are accepted.
