1. What is Total Yearly Income?

Total Yearly Income (TYI) represents the complete annual income after accounting for all earnings and deductions. It includes gross salary, bonuses, investment returns, and subtracts applicable deductions like taxes and fees to determine net taxable income.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the TYI formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Salary \) — Base annual pay before deductions (currency/year)

• \( Investments \) — Returns from investments and other income sources (currency)
• \( Deductions \) — Taxes, fees, and other applicable deductions (currency)
