takehome

What you keep

Takehome refers to the amount of money remaining after deductions—taxes, benefits, retirement contributions—have been subtracted from gross pay: My takehome is about sixty percent of my salary.

Also spelled as two words or hyphenated: take-home, take home.

A takehome exam or assignment is completed outside the classroom rather than under supervision.
