Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $5,043 to pay you $48,024. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.51 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

22.8%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.6% tax rate now rises to 22.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $48,024 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $7,035. That means that your net pay will be $40,989 per year, or $3,416 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.6% and your marginal tax rate is 34.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $34.5, hence, your net pay will only increase by $65.5.
