The ”net” amount is the amount of the employees’ paychecks—their take-home pay, or the amount the employees cleared after deducting payroll taxes and voluntary deductions.

"I have taken Accounting classes THREE DIFFERENT TIMES and failed every time - until now. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I finally understand the basic Accounting concepts that I couldn't figure out in a fast-paced classroom setting. I wish I would have found this site YEARS ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - E.M.
