Much of the payroll process begins with calculating gross salary — whether hourly, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly — and then subtracting deductions and taxes from that amount to determine the final payment that employees receive in their paychecks. These gross wage calculations and subsequent deductions are dependent on several factors in each case depending on the law and rules.

This session will provide the necessary insights on how payroll calculations are done – even if the software is used in calculating payroll, it is very beneficial for the person entering the numbers, to know how these calculations are performed. Some calculations need to be done before they can be entered into the payroll system. A good understanding of employee taxes is vital for payroll administration.
