Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $5,250 to pay you $50,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.4% tax rate now rises to 23.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make $50,000 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $7,717. That means that your net pay will be $42,283 per year, or $3,524 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.4% 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.
