Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $7,824 to pay you $74,516. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.22 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.7% tax rate now rises to 29.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $74,516 a year living in Australia, you will be taxed $16,175. That means that your net pay will be $58,341 per year, or $4,862 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.7% 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
