1. What is Monthly Income After Taxes?

Projected monthly income after taxes is the amount of money you actually take home each month after all tax deductions from your annual salary. This is the amount available for living expenses, savings, and investments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Annual\ Salary \) — Your total yearly earnings before taxes
• \( Taxes \) — Total annual tax amount
• 12 — Number of months in a year

Explanation: The calculation subtracts your total annual taxes from your annual salary, then divides the result by 12 to get your monthly take-home pay.
