Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,678 to pay you $25,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
15.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.3% tax rate now rises to 15.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $25,500 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $1,606. That means that your net pay will be $23,894 per year, or $1,991 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.3% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 $27.46, hence, your net pay will only increase by $72.54.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $725 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,627 of net incomes.
