Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $3,255 to pay you $31,002. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.8% tax rate now rises to 18.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $31,002 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $3,052. That means that your net pay will be $27,950 per year, or $2,329 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.9% and your marginal tax rate is 21.0%. 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 $21, hence, your net pay will only increase by $79.
Bonus Example
