Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $22,834 to pay you $242,710. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.9% tax rate now rises to 40.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $242,710 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $84,741. That means that your net pay will be $157,969 per year, or $13,164 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.9% 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.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $530 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $2,650 of net incomes.
