When I received a job offer, I wondered, "How much will I really have left after taxes?" Even small benefits, bonuses, and social security contributions can significantly change the figure. So I went online and used a payroll calculation service. Entering my information, I saw that the difference between the stated gross and net salary was more significant than I expected. This gave me confidence when discussing the terms with the employer: I was ready to share not just my desired salary, but the amount I was happy with "on hand" and why. The result was convincing—I was able to justify my expectations not only in percentages but also in specific figures, and both parties in the conversation clearly understood what was being discussed.
