Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $25,293 to pay you $1,698,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.3% tax rate now rises to 46.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $1,698,000 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $768,727. That means that your net pay will be $929,273 per year, or $77,439 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.3% 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
