Year to date (YTD) is a term that covers the period between the beginning of the year and the current (present) date. So, on a pay stub, your YTD figure shows the total of your wages or earnings from the start of the current calendar year until the most recent pay period. Most pay stubs will show a running total of YTD earnings that includes gross wages, net pay, or both. They may also provide a YTD tally of your FICA taxes, income taxes, and other deductions.
