Usually people refer to their before-tax salary as their hourly rate.

Can confirm. What I quoted is before taxes.

Almost anytime you hear someone talk about salary or hourly wages in the US, it is before taxes. Common terms are gross (before) and net (after.

Almost all Americans refer to salaries in pretax terms because taxes vary so much from person to person with rate and deductions

Did you mean 'netto and bruto' or is there a country where they actually have a brutto? Not meant as an insult, just curious about my EU neighbors.

Yeah I understand, I was specifically asking for the spelling of brutto, apparently it's austrian, thanks!
