How do you calculate take-home pay?

During a job interview, the employer generally offers a salary expressed as a “gross” amount. The amount quoted includes employee contributions, which are used to fund the employee’s social security benefits and are deducted from the “net” pay received by the employee.

You can use our calculator to convert gross pay to net pay : simply enter the offered salary in the “gross pay” field. You can refine the calculation by answering various questions (fixed-term contract, executive status, overtime, part-time work, meal vouchers, etc.).

Net salary (received by the employee) is equal to Gross salary (stated in the employment contract) minus employee contributions (pension, social security contributions, etc.).

Furthermore, since 2019, theincome tax has been withheld at source. To facilitate this, the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP) provides the employer with the tax rate calculated based on the employee’s tax return. If this rate is unknown—for example, during an employee’s first year of employment—the employer uses the default rate .

How do you calculate the total cost of hiring?

If you’re looking to hire, you can calculate the total cost of your employee’s compensation, as well as the corresponding employer and employee contributions. This allows you to set the compensation level while knowing the overall cost to your company.

In addition to salary, our simulator factors in benefits in kind (cell phone, company car, etc.), as well as mandatory health insurance.

There are deferred incentives available for hiring that are not all included in our simulator; you can find them on the official portal .
