Gross Up Paycheck Calculator

Gross Up Paycheck Formula

The formula to calculate the gross up paycheck is:

\[ \text{GUP} = \frac{\text{FPA}}{1 - \frac{\text{TR}}{100}} \]

Where:

• GUP is the gross up paycheck amount ($)
• FPA is the final payment amount after taxes are taken out ($)
• TR is the tax rate (%)

What is a Gross Up Paycheck?

A gross-up paycheck is a method used to determine how much a company needs to pay to ensure that an employee receives a specified net amount after taxes. For example, if the goal is for an employee to receive $4,000 after taxes, the company must pay more than that amount to account for taxes, which is the gross-up amount.

Example Calculation

If the final payment amount (FPA) is $4,000 and the tax rate (TR) is 25%, the gross-up paycheck (GUP) is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{GUP} = \frac{4000}{1 - \frac{25}{100}} = \frac{4000}{0.75} = 5333.33 \text{ dollars} \]
