Estimates for an Australian resident who claims the tax-free threshold. Employer super is 12% on top of ordinary earnings unless you mark the salary as including super. Full-time hours are 38 a week across 52 weeks, with no overtime. HELP is included only when that option is on. Weekly, fortnightly and monthly nets follow ATO withholding, so they can differ from the annual net split evenly. This is not personal tax advice.

How are you paid?
Penalty rates & overtime

Do you work these shifts every week?

Weekend and public holiday penalty rates are usually ordinary time earnings, so they count toward super. Overtime usually does not. Each amount is hours × your ordinary hourly rate × the multiplier. “No, this pay only” counts the shifts in this pay only. “Yes, every week” repeats them every week, so the year includes them 52 times. Confirm the rate in your Fair Work award.
