Gross Wages

By Katie Milner November 3, 2019 No Comments

What are Gross Wages? Definition below:

”Gross wages refers to the amount of money an employee is owed prior to the employer withholding deductions, such as taxes.

The gross wages an employee is owed are generally significantly higher than the take-home (also known as net) pay. Since deductions are generally based on a percentage, the difference between take-home pay and gross wages varies from employee to employee.
