How to Figure Out Your Gross Income
- 1). Save four week's worth of paychecks. If you're paid weekly, you'll have to save four paychecks and, if you're paid biweekly, you'll have to save two paychecks.
- 2). Look on your paycheck for "Gross Pay." If your paycheck does not have "Gross Pay" on it, then look for "Earnings." Add up the gross pay or earnings pay for each paycheck. Do not add up "Net Amount" as that is your earnings after deductions.
- 3). Multiply your four week's gross pay total by 12 to get your yearly gross income; that calculation does not take into account any other streams of income you may have. If you have other streams of income, you must add them to that total. For example, if you receive $100 per month for a side business, then you would add $1200 to your total, because that's how much you would receive over the course of the year.
