Explanation: The formula reverses the standard deduction process to determine the original gross salary before taxes and pension were deducted.
Details: Knowing your gross salary helps in financial planning, understanding your full compensation package, and comparing job offers. It's also essential for loan applications and other financial processes that consider your total earnings.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate but may not match payroll exactly due to rounding or additional small deductions.
