The difference between the paydays

payday-2

There are two different values for payday when you hold tab during a mission:

$1,383,750 ON PAYDAY - PAYDAY: $1,950,950

As you can see in the image, the payday on the bottom-left is about $500 000 less than the payday on the top-right.

What is the difference in meaning between the two?

The value at the top right should display the correct total value for the payday, and I'm pretty sure it increases as you pick up instant cash and secure bags. I imagine the total at the bottom left is summarising how much you have gained from the bags you have secured.
