Definition of take-home pay
« on: September 24, 2013, 02:09:06 PM »
Ok, so in one of MMMs articles he defines take-home pay as gross pay minus taxes. What about other things on my paycheck? The set amount my employer pays for health insurance? The difference in health insurance price that I cover with pre-tax dollars? The "defined benefit" pension deduction? What do I do with those?
