Pop quiz

Try a question from a session.

Your first paycheckYour job pays $1,000, but your paycheck shows less. Where did the rest go?

That’s it. Gross pay is what you earn. Take-home pay is what’s left after taxes and other withholding come out. Knowing the difference is step one of every budget.

Not quite. Try again. Here’s a hint: the government gets its share before you do.
