Calculating Zakat on Salary

Question:
How should I calculate Zakat on my salary i.e. on gross or net basis? What will be the exemptions? If I go by the Income Tax method, then how do I treat the tax deducted at source by my organization?

Response:
Calculate 10% of your gross salary and then deduct the income tax you are paying to a Muslim state. The rest is what you can spend as zakat on the avenues of your choice. If the tax is more, you don't have to pay anything extra.
