Net pay is the salary before income tax. For each net figure, the site's engine searches for the gross pay that gives exactly that amount (numerical inversion), with rates as of 26 October 2026: permanent full-time contract (35 hours a week), 12 months paid, company health cover with €20 deducted a month, general collective rules, outside Alsace-Moselle. For the same net pay, a cadre must be paid slightly more in gross terms. In an interview, it is the gross annual figure that gets negotiated.
Each page details net pay after tax, the employer cost (company with fewer than 5 employees) and the INSEE occupations paid around that net figure. For an amount that is not in the list, the gross-to-net converter works it out to the cent, per hour, per month or per year; the guide to gross and net pay explains what separates the two, and the salary tools go further (tax, pay rise, end of contract).
