hi there,

can anyone tell me the average wage for the gold coast area,i.e what would be considered a comfortable wage?

Re: salary
 

It might help if you provided an idea of what trade? I imaging waitresses and civil engineers may have a completely different idea about what a confortable wage is.

Tax Rates for the year 2008/2009 are:
Taxable income : Tax on this income
$0 – $6,000 : Nil
$6,001 – $34,000 : 15c for each $1 over $6,000
$34,001 – $80,000 : $4,200 plus 30c for each $1 over $34,000
$80,001 – $180,000 : $18,000 plus 40c for each $1 over $80,000
Over $180,000 : $58,000 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000

Therefore:
34,000 = 4,200.00
32,232 = 9,669.60
Total Tax = $13,869.60
+ Medicare at 1.5% = $993.50
Net Take home = $51,368.90

or = $4,280.70 per month or $987.86 per week
