The Tax Calculator On Pay is a tool that calculates the tax amount deducted from gross pay based on the specified tax rate. It helps individuals and employers determine net pay after tax deductions.

Explanation: The formula multiplies the gross pay by the tax rate (expressed as a decimal) to calculate the tax amount. Net pay is then calculated by subtracting the tax amount from the gross pay.
