Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $7,655 to pay you $72,901. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.19 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

28.9%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.4% tax rate now rises to 28.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $72,901 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $15,618. That means that your net pay will be $57,283 per year, or $4,774 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.4% 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 $34.5, hence, your net pay will only increase by $65.5.
