I used to compare job offers by looking only at the annual salary. Over time, I realized that the number that really matters is the amount you actually receive every month.

In Italy, your take-home pay depends on several factors, including taxes, social security contributions, and your employment situation. That's why two people with the same RAL can end up with different net salaries.

To make this easier to understand, I built StipendeoNetto, a project that helps estimate net salary from RAL and provides practical guides about payslips, payroll, and employment in Italy.

Whether you're evaluating a new opportunity or simply want to understand your salary better, having access to clear information can make a real difference.

I'm always interested in improving the resource, so I'd love to hear what information or tools you think would be most helpful when understanding salaries in Italy.

Most people track progress by adding weight to the bar, but that doesn’t always show real strength.

Bodyweight changes can affect performance more than expected, which is why I started focusing on relative strength instead of just totals.

Lately I’ve been checking my numbers using a dots score calculator after each training block to keep things consistent.
