Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $5,048 to pay you $48,078. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.52 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.7% tax rate now rises to 22.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $48,078 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $7,054. That means that your net pay will be $41,024 per year, or $3,419 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.7% 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.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $655 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,275 of net incomes.
