Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $748 to pay you $7,122. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.08 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.3% tax rate now rises to 36.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $170,928 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $51,729. That means that your net pay will be $119,199 per year, or $9,933 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.3% 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.
