5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What counts as "Other Contributions"?
A: These typically include social security, health insurance, pension contributions, or any other mandatory deductions specific to your country.

Q2: Should I use monthly or annual salary?
A: You can use either, as long as you're consistent with all amounts (use monthly figures for monthly calculations, annual for annual).

Q3: Are tax rates progressive or flat in this calculator?
A: This calculator uses a flat rate for simplicity. For progressive tax systems, you would need a more complex calculator.

Q4: What if my contributions are percentage-based?
A: Convert them to fixed amounts first (e.g., 5% of salary = salary × 0.05) before entering.

Q5: Does this include voluntary deductions?
A: No, this calculates only mandatory taxes and contributions. Voluntary deductions would need to be subtracted separately.
