On your Form 1040 (IRS), your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)—the most common figure for loans and tax purposes—is found on Line 11. If you need your total income before adjustments, look at Line 9, and for final taxable income, check Line 15 (or similar, depending on the year).
Your adjusted gross income (AGI) appears on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1040, line 11.
Add all your taxable income. Put the amount on line 9 of Form 1040.
To add more confusion, the Tax History Report shows "Total Income" as the amount from Line 9 (total income) or Line 11 (adjusted gross income) of Form 1040.
Total Income
This section displays the total amount of income reported on your return. It includes all income sources such as: Wages and salaries (Form W-2) Interest and dividends.
You can find your annual income on your Form W2 from your employer. (Check out the next section if you're looking for your AGI from last tax year.) If you're wondering how to get AGI on your paycheck, unfortunately, you can't.
Neither Box 1 nor Box 5 is your total "gross income" from your paystub; instead, Box 1 (Wages, Tips, Other Compensation) shows your taxable income for federal income tax, while Box 5 (Medicare Wages and Tips) shows wages subject to Medicare tax, with Box 1 usually being your total earnings minus pre-tax deductions (like 401k), and Box 5 sometimes being higher if retirement wasn't deducted from it, or lower if pre-tax benefits were subtracted.
You should find this amount on your pay stub. If it's not on your pay stub, use gross income before taxes. Then subtract any money the employer takes out for health coverage, child care, or retirement savings. Multiply federal taxable wages by the number of paychecks you expect in the tax year to estimate your income.
Line 15000 is where you report your total income on your tax return. This is your total income before any deductions have been subtracted.

When entering the refund amount, make sure you're looking at the correct line on your tax return to find it. If you filed Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR, use the amount on Line 35a. If you filed Form 1040-PR or Form 1040SS, the refund amount is found on Line 14a.

So the answer to your question is that there is no line on Form 1040, or anywhere else on your tax return, that is "considered" net income. You have to decide what you mean by net income, and calculate it yourself.
On the 2021 form 1040, line 9 is your total annual income. There is no monthly income on the tax form, you need to divide by 12.
How to calculate annual income. To calculate an annual salary, multiply the gross pay (before tax deductions) by the number of pay periods per year. For example, if an employee earns $1,500 per week, the individual's annual income would be 1,500 x 52 = $78,000.
When calculating income tax, understanding gross total income and total income is essential, as they significantly impact tax liability. Gross total income refers to earnings before deductions, while total income is calculated after applying deductions and exemptions.
To calculate your monthly income, first determine your gross income (before deductions) by adding up all earnings (salary, tips, bonuses, etc.), then convert it: for an annual salary, divide by 12; for bi-weekly pay, multiply the gross check by 26 and divide by 12; for hourly pay, multiply hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by 52, then divide by 12. For a more accurate average, sum up your total earnings over the past year and divide by 12, including all income sources like side jobs or rent.
Box 1 (Wages, Tips and Other Compensation) represents the amount of compensation taxable for federal income tax purposes while box 3 (Social Security Wages) represents the portion taxable for social security purposes and box 5 (Medicare Wages) represents the portion taxable for Medicare tax purposes.
Because the wages listed on the W-2 are net of pre-tax deductions, most of the time gross pay will not be found on the W-2. The only exception will be an employee who does not have pre-tax deductions such as 401k and/or medical, dental, vision, and or FSA/HSA.
The W-2 Box 1 amount is federal taxable wages equal gross earnings minus pre-tax deductions such as health/dental/vision insurance, retirement contributions, Tax-Deferred Savings Plans like 403(b) and 457 retirement accounts, and FSA Medical and Dependent Care.
