Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $12.81 to pay you $122. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.1% tax rate now rises to 18.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $31,720 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $3,203. That means that your net pay will be $28,517 per year, or $2,376 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.1% and your marginal tax rate is 21.0%. 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 $21, hence, your net pay will only increase by $79.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $790 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,950 of net incomes.
