pre-tax

Before government's cut

Pre-tax describes an amount before taxes are deducted: pre-tax income, pre-tax profits.

It's the figure before the government takes its share.

Pre-tax contributions to retirement accounts reduce taxable income: I put fifteen percent of my pre-tax salary into my 401(k).
