<prompt> Human: So for the past few years Ive only had an hourly job, no benefits, barely even had to pay any taxes. Recently, however, I was employed by a larger company which paid me an annual salary rather than an hourly wage, and I receive health insurance, dental, etc. When I was getting the job offer from this company there were two salaries that they told me about. The pre-benefit salary, which was the gross income before any taxes or deductions for my benefits were taken off; and the net salary Id get, which is actually what I would take home excluding taxes. Now my issue is that they also offer a 401k and are willing to match 5 of my annual income. Im curious what 5 theyre willing to match, the pre or post-benefit salary?Plus Ive had to fill out several forms for disability and they also want to know my annual salary and I dont know what salary would be standard to tell them.  <response>: The match is typically a percent of your gross salary, that is, the larger amount before any tax withholding or other benefit costs are removed.
