Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of gross salary: Gross salary is the total earnings before any deductions such as taxes, benefits, or other withholdings.

Learn about net pay: Net pay is the amount an employee takes home after all deductions have been subtracted from the gross salary.

Explore the role of the W-4 form: The W-4 form determines the number of allowances an employee claims, which directly impacts the amount of federal income tax withheld from their paycheck. More allowances typically result in less tax withheld, increasing net pay.

Analyze the impact of pay frequency: Pay frequency (e.g., biweekly vs. monthly) does not affect the net pay amount per paycheck, as deductions are proportionally adjusted based on the pay period.

Compare the scenarios: To determine who receives more net pay, focus on the number of allowances claimed on the W-4 form, as this directly influences the tax withholding and net pay amount.
