Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $3,768 to pay you $35,885. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.19 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.4% tax rate now rises to 19.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $35,885 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $4,078. That means that your net pay will be $31,807 per year, or $2,651 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.4% 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
