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.
