Italian word
stipendio
salary, monthly pay (for an employee)
Looks like
stipend
a small regular allowance, usually for students or trainees
⚠️ The trap
'Stipendio' is the normal word for a full monthly salary — much more than an English 'stipend'. Using 'stipend' for an Italian professional salary significantly undervalues the role.
To say "a small regular allowance, usually for students or trainees" in Italian:
stipendio (full salary); borsa di studio (student stipend)
"stipendio" in English means:
salary, monthly pay (for an employee)
Example
"Il mio stipendio netto è di duemilaquattrocento euro."
"My net salary is two thousand four hundred euros."
