How to calculate year-to-date gross pay?

To calculate year-to-date gross pay, you need to add all payments received from the first date of the fiscal year up to the most recent paycheck. You can do this by looking at each pay stub, but some paystubs have this number on each paystub given to an employee.

While individuals can calculate year-to-gross pay, companies can also find this calculation to see what they are paying all their employees. This is done by calculating every employee's year-to-date pay and then adding that all together to have a total number. That number can be useful for the financial health of a company.
