Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,108 to pay you $121,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.67 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45% tax rate now rises to 45.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $1,452,000 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $653,107. That means that your net pay will be $798,893 per year, or $66,574 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.0% and your marginal tax rate is 47.0%. 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 $47, hence, your net pay will only increase by $53.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $530 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $2,650 of net incomes.
