What is the difference between gross salary and net salary?

Gross salary is your total pay before any deductions. Net salary (take-home pay) is what remains after income tax, national insurance or social security, pension contributions, and any other deductions are removed. The difference can be significant — for example, a $65,000 gross salary might produce only ~$48,000 net depending on tax jurisdiction and deductions.

What tax rate should I enter?

Enter your effective tax rate — the total tax you actually pay divided by your gross income — not your marginal (highest bracket) rate. If you paid $14,300 in income tax on $65,000, your effective rate is 22%. Your payslip or tax return will show the actual tax paid, which you can divide by gross income to find your effective rate.

How is the hourly rate calculated from an annual salary?

Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × 52 weeks). For example, $65,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $31.25/hour. This assumes the same number of hours every week for the full year. Adjust "Hours per Week" in the calculator to reflect your actual working hours.
