Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $148 to pay you $1,413. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.5% tax rate now rises to 29.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $73,476 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $15,816. That means that your net pay will be $57,660 per year, or $4,805 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.5% and your marginal tax rate is 34.5%. 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 $34.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by $65.50.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $655 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,275 of net incomes.
