Got an offer, comment please?
 

Hi there,

I've just received an offer!!!! Yeah!!! Could I gather information from anyone here and see if it's alright.

Basic salary incl superannuation $75000. I think the contribution for it is 9% hence I will get $68250. 20 days annual leave, medicare and life insurance paid for. Probational period of 6 month. $2000 relocation fees, 2 flight tickets.

I will be getting LAFHA but I have no idea what figure I'm looking at per month. I'm trying to work out how much income per week after tax I will be getting but it seems too complicated to work out.

Can someone contribute some idea pleaseeeeee? Or perhaps give me some break down figure?

Thank you soooo much!!!

DaN

Congratulations! I can't answer your questions but was curious - what job do you do?

It may depend on where you will be living, Perth and Sydney can be expensive, do you have dependents, will you be the only earner in your family?

I am hoping to earn about $45,000, i have no children and both myself and the OH will work. So i will be happy with that, there are lots of factors to take into account

You may need to give more info :thumbsup:

'Wages Question how much pie is mine '
This thread is on page 3 for some ideas.
The 9% super contribution is paid by your employer.
Seems like you have a very good deal, lucky you.
Cheers,
Dennis

:eek:

I calculate you get about 4500 into the hand a week , however I could be wrong

What on $75K a year?

If so way off, nearer $2K a fortnight, without taking into account the LAFHA.

Re: Got an offer, comment please?
 

Not wanting to p*ss on your fireworks, but $75K isn't too good to be honest. Think they may be taking you for a ride. I'm not saying 75K isn't a liveable amount of money, dependent on your circumstances it may well be, its more to do with what's the going rate. Also six months probation is unusual, but perhaps that to do with the sponsorship process.

I know of a civil guy (transport), offered $120K plus relocation costs from UK and four weeks accomadation costs upon arrival (no visa as he's an ozzie) in Brisbane, similar amount of experience. PM me for details.

LAFHA = What ???:(

Re: Got an offer, comment please?
 

Living Away From Home Allowance.

Only for those on 457s (I think). A tax break from the oz gov for those who are required to work away from their normal place of living. Available to oz citizens, not just those migrating. Don't know how the numbers are worked out exactly.
