How much of a pay rise do I actually take home?
Your take-home increase depends on your marginal tax rate. If you're in the 30% bracket, you'll keep about 70% of your raise (minus Medicare levy and any HELP repayments). Use the calculator to see your exact after-tax increase.
Will a pay rise push me into a higher tax bracket?
Only the income above the bracket threshold is taxed at the higher rate — not your entire salary. For example, crossing the $45,000 threshold means only dollars above $45,000 are taxed at 30% instead of 15%. Your overall tax goes up, but you still take home more.
Does a pay rise affect my HELP repayment?
Yes. HELP repayments are calculated as a percentage of your total income. A pay rise that crosses a repayment threshold will increase your compulsory HELP repayment. The calculator includes this if you tick the HELP debt option.
