Take Home Pay - help - a simple answer please
Hi Folks,
I'm in early stages of moving across, hopefully March 2010. I'm trying to do some numbers, and was hoping for some clarification on take-home-pay please. I've looked back at some of the previous threads and seen some of the complications about superann, etc. Don't really want to go into fine detail at this stage. Can I just ask a simple question. If I was paid $80,000, what would be the take-home-pay, money in the bank after tax, superann and medical care. Thanks |

Ok, I knew there was not going to be a simple answer to this.
If a job is advertised as $80k, it does not appear to mention anything about super ? What is super ? |

Another question though:- 1) £60,900 as a %age of £80,000 is 76%, therefore tax is 24% 2) £56,360 as a %age of £72,800 is 77%, therefore tax is 23% Why is the %age different ? Are there different rates of tax for earnings ? |

Superannuation
The employer has to pay an extra 9%, of a persons wage, into a compulsory Superannuation scheme of the employees choice, as long as they earn more than $450 per month. On a wage of about $50,000 per year, this can be effectively increased by $4,500, although this extra money is tied up until the relevant retiring date. When quoting Salaries, some employers may quote a Salary Package of $54,500, meaning $50,000 + super, whilst another may quote; $50,000 Salary, which would then have the 9% super in addition, therefore totalling $54,500. Ensure that you compare apples with apples, and that you know if the super has been included in the figure or not. Tax on $80,000 is $17,850 Medicare is 1.5% of $80,000 = $1,200 Tax is Based on personal income tax rates 2009-2010: HTML Code:

Tax is done on a sliding scale like the UK. So there are different tax bands where the percentage changes for each dollar earned in the current band. This would cause the 1% difference in the overall tax.
$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 |
