Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,510 to pay you $23,900. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.56 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.1% tax rate now rises to 14.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $23,900 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $1,221. That means that your net pay will be $22,679 per year, or $1,890 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.1% 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.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $775 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,873 of net incomes.
