Your Salary vs. Australian Wages
The following chart outlines your earnings relative to the national average salary and minimum wage in Australia.
These are annual, pre-tax figures, calculated assuming full-time employment.
The national average salary for Australia is $98,218 per year, but how much you're likely to earn will depend on a
variety of other factors including where you work and what you do.
To obtain a more reliable estimate, we can check the median gross salary in Australia, which is $67,600 a year.
Using our salary calculator, we can determine that the average Australian gross salary of $98,218 per year translates
to a monthly take-home pay of $6,333.
On the other hand, the median gross salary of $67,600 per year translates to a monthly net income of
approximately $4,598.
If you work in a major city like Sydney or Melbourne, you'll probably need to earn more to enjoy the same quality of life that would
be cheaper to maintain elsewhere.
That's because Sydney is the most expensive city in Australia, with Melbourne and the capital city of Canberra not that far behind.
What Is the Minimum Wage in Australia?
In Australia, all employees are entitled to earn at least the national minimum wage of $24.10 per hour.
With a standard working week lasting 38 hours, the minimum wage is equal to a weekly salary of $915.90.
That works out to monthly gross earnings of around $3,969 or a yearly salary of $47,627.
Once taxes and the Medicare Levy have been applied, a single person earning the Australian minimum wage can expect to take home
$3,490 per month or $805 per week.
That is still one of the highest national minimum wages in the world, according to official rankings!
Taxes Included in This Australian Salary Calculator
When working out the effect of taxes on your pay, our Australian Salary Calculator takes into account a variety of major taxes and
other deductions.
These include income tax, which is charged at a progressive rate.
This means that you'll pay a higher percentage of tax as your income increases.
The calculator also accounts for the Medicare Levy which is charged at 2% of your income and is put towards maintaining Australia's
public health system.
Finally, the salary calculator applies any basic tax offsets (also known as rebates) that you may be entitled to, including the low
income tax offset (LITO).
The calculator does not take into account any student loan repayments or tax credits you may receive in respect of your children,
but the result will still be a helpful starting point to demonstrate how much of your salary you'll be taking home.
