How a Pay Rise Affects Your Tax
Australia uses progressive tax brackets, so a pay rise may push part of your income into a higher tax bracket. However, only the portion above the bracket threshold is taxed at the higher rate, not your entire salary.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much of my pay rise do I keep?
Depending on your tax bracket, you keep between 55% and 85% of a pay rise. Higher earners in the 45% bracket keep 55% plus Medicare levy.
Does a pay rise affect my super?
Yes. Your employer pays 12% super on your entire salary, so a $10,000 raise means an extra $1,200 per year into your super fund.
Should I negotiate salary or total package?
Always negotiate total package including super. A $100,000 salary with 12% super is a total cost of $112,000 to your employer.
