Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $22,202 to pay you $228,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.39 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.1% tax rate now rises to 40.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $228,000 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $77,827. That means that your net pay will be $150,173 per year, or $12,514 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.1% and your marginal tax rate is 47.0%. 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 $47, hence, your net pay will only increase by $53.
