1. What is the UNDP Salary Estimator?

The UNDP Salary Estimator calculates net pay for UNDP staff by subtracting taxes and deductions from gross pay. It provides a quick estimate of take-home salary.

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Pay \) — Total salary before deductions (currency/year)
