Understand Your Paycheck (What Are The Deductions On Your Pay Stub)

Do you understand your paycheck? What about all of those deductions, numbers and benefits you’re getting?

So many of us receive our paycheck week-after-week, but never take the time to actually look at our paycheck to understand it.  The main thing you probably notice is just how much of your salary doesn’t end up in your bank account each week.  So where does all your money go?

It could possibly be going to taxes, but there are other deductions that could be reducing the size of your net pay.  You could be receiving deductions for a retirement account, health insurance plan or somewhere else.
