What it means
At $75k you're in the 30% bracket. Each extra dollar up to $135,000 is taxed at 30c plus 2c Medicare. Your average rate (tax plus Medicare as a share of your salary) is 19.4%, but your marginal rate is 30% plus 2% Medicare. So a $1,000 pay rise would add about $680 to your take-home pay.
With HELP debt, you'd also repay about $821 a year ($31.57 a fortnight). Your employer also pays $9,000 in super on top, so your total package is worth $84,000.
