Description

The value of electroweak contribution to the ratio between pole and MSbar masses of top-quark are discussed. We argue that for a Higgs boson mass M_H ~ 125 GeV, the electroweak contribution are large and have opposite sign relative to the QCD contribution so that the total correction is small and approximately equal to 1 GeV. This fact reduces the scheme dependence for any top-dependent observables.
