Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $5,678 to pay you $54,080. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.74 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.9% tax rate now rises to 24.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $54,080 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $9,125. That means that your net pay will be $44,955 per year, or $3,746 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.9% 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.
