Pension contributions

I wonder whether anyone can answer this for me please? I've looked it up but the more I look, the more confused I get!

I need to update my income for tax credits, so I need income for 2021-2022. my salary is the same each month so it should be easy enough - but I'm confused about how I work it out. I have my gross salary on my payslip which is the amount after my pension contributions, but before tax and nat ins. So is the gross salary the amount I give to tax credits, or should it be the higher amount, so the amount BEFORE the pension contributions are taken off?

Thanks

I've always given the gross figure, before pension contributions

Thanks @Outnumbered99. I decided to do it after pension but before tax. They say to use the figure on your p60 - when I looked at mine for last year, the figure as gross pay on their was after pension and before tax. Hopefully Ive done it right!
