    Default Re: how to return value ..

    Your netsalary() method is using the instance variables salary and tax which are initialised to 0 so when you do salary*tax it is 0*0=0
    The main method is using its own copy of the salary and tax variables you've declared at the start and these are the ones with the value assigned to them that you need to use. Basically you don't need the netsalary method or the instance variables.
