Payroll
Gross Pay
Total earnings before any deductions — basic plus all allowances.
Gross pay is the sum of basic salary and every taxable and non-taxable allowance (housing, transport, etc.) before pension, NHF, PAYE or any other deduction is taken. It is the starting point for both tax and net-pay calculations.
