salary deductions

Taken from earnings

Salary deductions are amounts withheld from an employee's paycheck before they receive it.

Some are mandatory—taxes, Social Security contributions, court-ordered garnishments.

Others are voluntary: health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, union dues.

After all the salary deductions, my take-home pay was barely half my gross salary.
