FAQ
Is the higher salary always better?
Not automatically. Commute, hours, pension, benefits and risk can matter as much as the monthly net difference.
Why is the net difference lower than the gross difference?
Extra income is also subject to tax and payroll deductions under the modelled assumptions.
Can real payroll differ?
Yes. The page is an educational estimate, not a payslip forecast.
