The correct choice is:
"Gross income is how much money you make, while net income is your gross income minus deductions."
Why:
- Gross income = total earnings before any deductions (wages, salary, tips, interest, etc.).
- Net income = what remains after subtracting deductions (taxes, payroll withholdings, benefits, business expenses, etc.). For an individual this is often called take-home pay; for a business it’s the profit.
Quick clarifier: “taxable income” is related but not identical — it’s gross income minus specific adjustments and deductions used to compute taxes, which may differ from the deductions that produce take-home net pay.
