Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,783 to pay you $26,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.76 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

15.9%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.1% tax rate now rises to 15.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $26,500 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $1,881. That means that your net pay will be $24,619 per year, or $2,052 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.1% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 $27.5, hence, your net pay will only increase by $72.5.

Bonus Example

A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $725 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,625 of net incomes.
