- Gross Pay: Understanding your full earnings before deductions
- Pre-Tax Deductions: How these can lower your taxable income and what to look for
- Taxes Withheld: Knowing your federal and state tax withholdings
- After-Tax Deductions: Mega Backdoor Roth 401k and ESPP

- Net Pay: Knowing what you actually take home
