Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $719 to pay you $6,847. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.04 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.9% tax rate now rises to 36.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $164,328 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $49,155. That means that your net pay will be $115,173 per year, or $9,598 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.9% and your marginal tax rate is 39.0%. 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 $39, hence, your net pay will only increase by $61.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $610 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,050 of net incomes.
