Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,099 to pay you $19,994. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.22 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.7% tax rate now rises to 11.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $19,994 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $341. That means that your net pay will be $19,653 per year, or $1,638 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.7% and your marginal tax rate is 22.3%. 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 $22.33, hence, your net pay will only increase by $77.67.
