What is Net-to-gross Bonus Calculation?

You tell us what you'd like the take-home bonus to be, and we'll figure out how much the check needs to be. For example, if you want to give your employee a take-home bonus of $500, we'll calculate the total amount of the check before taxes.

You can't use net-to-gross bonus calculation together with any deductions (retirement, HSA, or garnishments).
