Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $15,645 to pay you $149,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.95 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29% tax rate now rises to 35.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make $149,000 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $43,177. That means that your net pay will be $105,823 per year, or $8,819 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.0% and your marginal tax rate is 39.0%. 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 $39, hence, your net pay will only increase by $61.

Bonus Example

A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $610 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,050 of net incomes.
