Hi KJB - MCS,
QuickBooks Online calculates payroll based on the Gross to Net method. This is to make sure any add-ons are deducted first to get the exact pay.
I'm adding this article for more details about paying your employees in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
If you have additional questions about payroll, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks.
