take home pay
What you keep
Take home pay is the amount of money a worker actually receives after all deductions—taxes, insurance, retirement contributions—have been subtracted from gross wages.
It's what lands in your bank account or paycheck: My salary looks good on paper, but my take home pay barely covers rent.
Also written as one word or hyphenated: takehome, take-home.
