Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14% tax rate now rises to 22.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $46,518 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $6,516. That means that your net pay will be $40,002 per year, or $3,334 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.0% and your marginal tax rate is 34.5%. 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 $34.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by $65.50.
