Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.5% tax rate now rises to 13.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $23,077 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $1,036. That means that your net pay will be $22,041 per year, or $1,837 per month. Your average tax rate is 4.5% 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.
