How to read gross vs take-home payGeoStat salary figures are gross nominal earnings. A simple employee take-home estimate in Georgia is gross salary minus the flat 20% personal income tax, so 2,000 GEL gross is about 1,600 GEL net. Some employees may also have pension contributions, benefits, bonuses, unpaid overtime, or contract-specific deductions, so real pay can differ from this estimate.
