Net to Gross Pay Calculator

About this calculator

Payroll normally works forward — starting from gross pay and subtracting taxes and deductions to arrive at net (take-home) pay — but this calculator runs the process in reverse: given a target net amount and the applicable tax and deduction rates, it works out the gross pay that must be paid so the employee actually receives that net figure after withholding.

HR and payroll teams use net-to-gross calculations when negotiating a job offer around a specific take-home number, employers use it for one-off bonus or relocation payments meant to land at a round net amount, and freelancers or contractors use it to figure out what to invoice so their after-tax income hits a target.
