May = Holiday money month! But watch out for the tax surprise...
For many employees, May is a celebration month: holiday pay is coming! A bonus, often good for 8% of the gross annual salary. A good time to start dreaming about a week in Spain, a new barbecue or just some extra buffer in the savings account. But beware: what you get net in your account does not only depend on the amount you accrue in gross holiday pay.
