Common salary comparison questions
What should I compare apart from annual salary?
Check whether super is included, whether HELP debt changes the result, and what the monthly or fortnightly take-home difference actually looks like.
Why can two similar salary offers feel very different?
Small gross differences can look bigger or smaller after tax, and the real decision often depends on package structure, commute, leave, and flexibility.
Can I use this for a pay rise decision?
Yes. This page works well for comparing your current salary with a proposed new number after tax.
