What this book teaches

What every line on a payslip means and how the numbers connect: gross to net, how tax brackets really work (and why a raise isn’t all taxed at the top rate), hours versus salary versus overtime, the deductions and contributions that come off, and how to check — line by line — that you were actually paid right.
