It&#8217;s the starting point of your salary. Think of it as the base of a cake, before any icing or decorations are added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-base-pay-mean\">What Does Base Pay Mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Base pay means the basic amount you&#8217;re paid for your job. It&#8217;s usually expressed as an hourly rate or an annual salary. It\u2019s steady part of your earnings that you can count on, regardless of extra hours or bonuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-annual-base-pay\">What is Annual Base Pay?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual base pay is your base salary calculated over a year. If you&#8217;re paid hourly, it&#8217;s your hourly rate times the typical number of hours you work in a year. If you have a yearly salary, that\u2019s your annual base pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-base-pay-include-taxes\">Does Base Pay Include Taxes?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Base pay is the amount you are paid before taxes or other deductions are taken out. It&#8217;s like the gross amount on your paycheck. Your take-home pay, or net pay, is what you get after taxes and deductions are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-base-pay-gross-or-net\">Is Base Pay Gross or Net?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Base pay is gross pay. It\u2019s the full amount you earn before anything is taken out for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/resources\/wiki\/taxes\">taxes<\/a>, health insurance, or retirement contributions. Your net pay is what you actually see in your bank account after all those deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-40\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignfull p-cta p-cta--two-column is-style-theme-dark is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-50\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull l-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-display-font-size\" id=\"h-open-a-lendnation-account-today-apply-online-or-in-store\" style=\"margin-top:0\">Open a LendNation Account Today -Apply online or in-store!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/apply\/\">Apply Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/location\">Find a Store<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-50\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, understanding your base pay is important because it helps you plan your finances, especially when you need to budget or consider financial options.
