Payroll can be calculated by sum of all financial records of salaries for an employee, wages, bonuses and deductions. In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employees for services they provided during a certain period.From gross pay (the salary paid to the employee) one or more deductions are subtracted, to arrive at Net Pay. Thus the employee's gross pay minus payroll tax deductions, minus voluntary payroll deductions, is equal to Net Pay.
