How to translate "gross salary" and "nett salary", please
Gross salary is the sum that the employer has in his books as paying to the employee.
Nett salary is the sum that the employee actually receives. From the gross salary, the employer takes off a certain amount as "income tax" and gives it to the government. The employer also takes off various social charges which he gives to another part of the government.
Very roughly, in the UK, one third of gross salary goes to the government and two thirds to the employee.
