I am new to all this VB coding so kindly assist. Here is the question: Given that an employee earns an arbitrary basic salary, write a program to calculate the employees net salary given that the deductions are specified as follows:

NSSA contribution is calculated at 7% of the gross salary

PAYE is calculated as specified in the tax tables below

Aids levy is calculated as 3% of your PAYE

Maximum gross salary is $10000 and minimum is $100

Nett Salary is given by the formulae:

Nett Salary = (Gross Salary - Pension) - (Aids Levy + PAYE)

Tax Tables - PAYE

from 0 to 300.00 multiply by 0% - $6 000 per month

from 300.01 to 1,500.00 multiply by 20% Deduct 60.00

from 1,500.01 to 3,000.00 multiply by 25% Deduct 135.00

from 3,000.01 to 5,000.00 multiply by 30% Deduct 285.00

from 5,000.01 to 10,000.00 multiply by 35% Deduct 535.00

This is what i have so far but its not working

 Module Module1

Sub Main()

    Dim GrossSalary As Decimal
    Dim NSSADed As Decimal
    Dim PAYEDed As Decimal
    Dim AidsLevyDed As Decimal
    Dim NetSalary As Decimal
    Dim maxIncome As Decimal
    Dim minIncome As Decimal

    minIncome = 100
    maxIncome = 10000
    NSSADed = 0.07 * GrossSalary
    AidsLevyDed = 0.03 * PAYEDed


    If GrossSalary >= minIncome Then
        minIncome = GrossSalary
    ElseIf GrossSalary <= maxIncome Then
        maxIncome = GrossSalary
    Else : Console.WriteLine("Out of Range")
    End If

    If GrossSalary >= 0 AndAlso GrossSalary <= 300 Then
        PAYEDed = (GrossSalary * 0.0) - 0
    ElseIf GrossSalary >= 300.01 AndAlso GrossSalary <= 1500 Then
        PAYEDed = (GrossSalary * 0.2) - 60
    ElseIf GrossSalary >= 1500.01 AndAlso GrossSalary <= 3000 Then
        PAYEDed = (GrossSalary * 0.25) - 135
    ElseIf GrossSalary >= 3000.01 AndAlso GrossSalary <= 5000 Then
        PAYEDed = (GrossSalary * 0.3) - 285
    ElseIf GrossSalary >= 5000.01 AndAlso GrossSalary <= 10000 Then
        PAYEDed = (GrossSalary * 0.35) - 535
    Else : Console.WriteLine("Invalid Input")
    End If


    Console.Out.Write("Enter Gross Salary: ")
    GrossSalary = Console.In.ReadLine()


    NetSalary = (GrossSalary - NSSADed) - (AidsLevyDed + PAYEDed)
    Console.Out.WriteLine("Your NetPay: " & (FormatCurrency(NetSalary)))
    Console.ReadKey()




End Sub
End Module

If i run the program, this is what im getting:
Enter Gross Salary: 5500
Your NetPay: US$5,500.00
which means its not executing any calculation i want it to

Look at your order of execution. In lines 19 to 39 you didn't ask for GrossSalary until line 41. So the code did what you asked.
