A paystub explains your paycheck. Gross pay is all the money you earned. Net pay is the money you actually get after they take taxes out.

Income or wages shows money you earned. (Added so the net pay is higher)

Deductions show money that comes out before you get paid. (Subtracted so the net pay is lower.)

Do taxes come out of your paycheck before you get paid in your former country? How often do you get paid?
