What are the differences between the types of salaries available?

Once you look for salaries, you will automatically get gross salary data. However, you can choose to get:

• Gross salary

The gross salary refers to the total compensation that workers get before taxes, social contributions, and other withholdings. Additionally, it may include provisions such as private health insurance, spending allowances, dining vouchers, the provision of corporate vehicles, and several other forms of monetary or non-monetary benefits provided to employees.

• Net salary

A person’s “net salary” is the amount of money remaining after taxes, insurance, etc. have been taken out. It’s basically the amount of money an employee gets each month in their bank account after all taxes. The highest number you can get on your payroll is the gross salary, and the lowest is the net salary.

• Contractor salaries

It is the compensation an independent employer receives for conducting freelance work for their clients. The salaries of specific contract employees vary according to the industry in which they work, their level of experience, and how much they charge their customers for their services.

• Company costs

Company costs refer to all of the costs and expenditures of any kind, including payments. Common operating costs in addition to COGS may include rent, equipment, inventory costs, marketing, payroll, insurance, and funds allocated for research and development.
