Question

what is calculated when deductions are subtracted from gross pay?
net pay
hourly wage
stock market index

Gross pay is total earnings before deductions. Subtracting deductions (like taxes, benefits) from gross pay gives net pay (the amount received). Hourly wage is earnings per hour, and stock market index relates to financial markets, not pay calculation. So the correct option is "net pay".

Answer:

A. net pay
