What Is a Gross Up?

A gross-up is a handy method employers use to make sure employees get a specific net amount after taxes. When bonuses or other types of compensation are given, taxes can take a big bite out of the final amount employees actually receive. 

To solve this, a gross-up increases the gross pay so that, even after taxes, the employee still takes home the amount they were promised.
