taxable earnings

Reportable gross pay

Taxable earnings are the portion of income subject to taxation after deductions, exemptions, and adjustments.

The term appears most often in payroll contexts, where it determines how much of a worker's wages are subject to income tax, Social Security, or Medicare withholding: Your taxable earnings for Social Security are capped at a certain amount each year.
