Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,144 to pay you $20,423. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
11.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 2.1% tax rate now rises to 11.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $20,423 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $437. That means that your net pay will be $19,986 per year, or $1,665 per month. Your average tax rate is 2.1% and your marginal tax rate is 22.5%. 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 $22.54, hence, your net pay will only increase by $77.46.
