I’m just a bloke trying to understand how much I actually got paid

The 2 numbers are never the same, so….how much did I really make last year?

FYI, the YTD (year to date) fields on your pay stubs are probably a better way to figure out how much money you actually took home. The point of a W2 is to help you figure out taxes, not so much to help you figure out your budget, and the way the information is presented rejects that.
