Investopedia explains 'Gross Interest'

A percentage of interest must be paid on an investment, security holding or deposit in the form of deductions such as taxes, charges or fees. For example, if you had $3,000 in a savings account earning 2% interest per year, charged on a yearly basis, the gross interest would be $60. If you were taxed 35%, the net interest would be $39 and taxes would be $21.
