Payroll
Year to Date Full Form: YTD
Year to Date (YTD) is the total amount recorded from the start of a calendar or financial year up to the current date.
In simple terms
On payroll records, YTD figures can show cumulative earnings, deductions and taxes. The relevant year should be clear because organisations may report by financial year rather than calendar year.
Example
A payslip may show YTD gross earnings and YTD tax deducted through the current payroll month.
