End of Year Highlights
In this activity, students will analyze and reflect on their most recent pay stub to better understand their earnings, deductions, and tax contributions. Students will identify and define key pay stub terms while reviewing their year-to-date earnings. They will calculate the difference between gross pay and net pay to see how deductions impact take-home income. Finally, students will respond to questions connecting their income to budgeting, financial goals, and real-life money management decisions.
