Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,975 to pay you $18,808. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.7% tax rate now rises to 10.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $18,808 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $123. That means that your net pay will be $18,685 per year, or $1,557 per month. Your average tax rate is 0.7% and your marginal tax rate is 15.2%. 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 $15.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by $84.80.
Bonus Example
