Why can a paycheck differ from gross salary?
Actual pay depends on tax residence, filing status, payroll contributions, benefits, pension or retirement deductions, unpaid leave, and the employer's pay schedule. Treat these figures as a transparent comparison baseline, not a tax return or payroll quote.
