Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,108 to pay you $43,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.3% tax rate now rises to 44.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $516,000 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $213,187. That means that your net pay will be $302,813 per year, or $25,234 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.3% 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.
