Employee Salary Calculator in Java: Explanation & Practice

Problem summary

Create an Employee class that calculates net salary after tax deductions.

Starter code

// Create Employee class with:
// - String name
// - double grossSalary
// - double getTax() - 10% if <50000, 20% if >=50000
// - double getNetSalary()

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Test case 1: grossSalary = 60000
        // Print: Gross: <gross>, Tax: <tax>, Net: <net>
    }
}

Expected output and test cases

• 20% tax bracket

  Gross: 60000.0, Tax: 12000.0, Net: 48000.0

• 10% tax bracket

  Gross: 40000.0, Tax: 4000.0, Net: 36000.0

• At threshold

  Gross: 50000.0, Tax: 10000.0, Net: 40000.0
