€1,700 gross to net: the detailed calculation
Going from gross to net happens in two stages. First, employee social contributions (health, pension, unemployment, CSG/CRDS) are removed from the gross: this gives the net before tax. Then the tax authority withholds income tax at source to reach the net after tax, the amount actually paid into your account.

Manager or non-manager: what changes for €1,700 gross?
