How to figure out your total gross income

For individuals, gross income is all the money you earn before taxes and other deductions are subtracted. Your earned income can come in many forms: salary, bonuses, tips, hourly wages, rental income, dividends from stocks and bonds, and savings account interest. In the less traditional but growing “gig” economy, people can earn income from multiple part-time, temporary, or freelance positions. All the monies earned from these jobs would count toward your gross income.

To avoid confusion, it’s worth knowing that there’s a different gross income definition for businesses. For a business, gross income, also known as gross profit, is the revenue earned from goods minus the cost of those goods. Gross profit is a line item in a profit and loss statement.

Calculate gross pay, before taxes, based on hours worked and rate of pay per hour including overtime.  To enter your time card times for a payroll related calculation use this time card calculator.

Gross Pay or Salary:

Gross pay is the total amount of money you get before taxes or other deductions are subtracted from your salary. Your gross income or pay is usually not the same as your net pay especially if you must pay for taxes and other benefits such as health insurance.  Some people refer to this calculation as a unit rate conversion.

Your total income is your gross income from all sources less certain deductions, such as expenses, allowances and reliefs.

If you are married or in a civil partnership and jointly assessed, your spouse's or civil partner's income is included in total income.

If you earn deposit interest or dividend income, you must use the gross figures when calculating total income. 

If the total income received by is less than the exemption limit, you will not pay any Income Tax (IT).

How to find annual income - examples

If you're still curious about how our yearly salary calculator works, here are two examples showing it in practice:

• Susanne earns $15 per hour and works full time (40 hours per week), 52 weeks a year. To determine her annual income, multiply all the values:

  15 * 40 * 52 = 31,200

  Susanne's yearly salary equals $31,200.

• Josh gets paid $500 weekly ($12.5 per hour at his full-time job, 40 hours per week). He takes 2 weeks of unpaid holiday per year. What's his annual income?

  We know the weekly income, so, to determine the annual salary, we have to know how many weeks Josh works. We know there are 52 weeks in a year, out of which there are 2 where he doesn't get paid. We need to do the subtraction: 52 - 2 = 50. Now we'll multiply the number of weeks by Josh's weekly wage:

  50 * 500 = 25,000

  His annual income equals $25,000.

Of course, you can repeat these calculations with our annual salary calculator in no time!
