Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,961 to pay you $47,250. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.48 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.3% tax rate now rises to 22.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $47,250 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $6,768. That means that your net pay will be $40,482 per year, or $3,373 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.3% 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.
