They garnish on your net... and for example, if you have a retirement account going, then they will take out retirement FIRST, and then the garnishment amount. Sometimes the garnishment can be a flat amount, or based upon a percentage of what you earned.

The Federal government prohibits creditors from collecting more than 25% of your gross pay, except in cases of familial support. Your garnishment deduction may be calculated based on your gross earnings.

What do the gross pay and net pay mean?

Gross pay is the amount of your earnings, wages, salary, tips, etc before any withholding is calculated to be withheld from the gross pay to equal what your net take home pay will be in your paycheck that will be issued to you. You should get this information from your employer payroll department as they will be the one that would know how much FICA, federal income tax, state income, local taxes, etc that they will have to withhold from your hourly pay or gross pay for the pay period. After the withheld amount for all taxes is subtracted from your gross wages (earned income) your paycheck will be issued for the net amount of your earning (wages).


What is the difference between net and gross on a paycheck for self-employed?

One answer: Net pay is what is left after the withholding of deductions (such as health insurance or wage garnishments) and taxes owed by the employee. That is, net wages are equal to gross wages, less taxes and deductions. Typically, employers and employees negotiate on the basis of gross wages, although household employees who are unfamiliar with the U.S. tax system might be more concerned about the net wages that they are actually able to draw upon for their immediate personal use. Another answer: Gross is what you made i.e. hourly rate times hours worked. Net is what you get paid after Social security, Federal income tax, State & local Tax and on and on.. Has been taken from it. To find out what percentage is being taken out. Change _______________ Original amount Subtract the Net from the gross. Divide the answer (change) by the original amount. Move your decimal point over two spaces to the right and you have the percent. Gross $1200 Original amount Net -$875 =325 Change 325 divided by 1200 = .27083333... or 27%
