Let's say that you earn $1000, and you have to pay 30% of your salary to the government (tax, insurance, additional fees that nobody knows where they go), so you get $700 to your hand.
My question is: what do you call the salary that is in your contract ($1000 - with tax to pay)? and what do you call the salary that you get ($700 - without tax)?
thank you in advance
