Information on net earnings (net pay taken home, in absolute figures) complements gross earnings data with respect to disposable earnings. The transition from gross to net earnings requires the deduction of income taxes and employee's social security contributions from the gross amounts and the addition of family allowances, if appropriate. The amount of these components and therefore the ratio of net to gross earnings depend on the individual situation (marital status, number of dependent children, and level of gross earnings compared to the average salary). The figures represent the percentage change on the previous period, defined as either the annual amount or the average the last 3 years. The data is based on a widely acknowledged model developed by the OECD, where tax and benefit information is obtained from national sources.
