How to Compare Two Salary Offers
How to Compare Two Job Offers Accurately in Australia
When comparing Australian employment contracts, headline figures can be misleading. An offer of $110,000 "package including 12% super" actually provides a base salary of $98,214.29 and $11,785.71 in employer super. By contrast, an offer of $102,000 "base plus 12% super" provides $102,000 in taxable base salary plus $12,240.00 in super ($114,240 total package) — leaving you $2,574.29 per year better off in net take-home cash in 2026–27.
Our side-by-side comparison calculator lets you configure Job Offer A and Job Offer B independently: you can compare an hourly or weekly contract against an annual salary, test different weekly hours (e.g. 38h vs 42h), and include pre-tax salary sacrifice.
Evaluating Effective Hourly Net Pay When Weekly Hours Differ
A higher annual salary does not always mean higher pay per hour worked. If Offer B pays $8,000 more per year before tax but expects 45 hours per week instead of 38 hours, your net hourly rate after tax may actually decrease. Check the Hourly Take-Home row in the comparison breakdown below to see what each role pays per hour worked.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the calculator handle one offer with super included and one excluding super?+−
Toggle "Super included in package" on whichever offer quotes a total package, and leave "Super excluded (+12% on top)" on the offer that quotes base salary plus super. The engine automatically extracts the base salary (Package ÷ 1.12) before computing income tax, Medicare levy, and HELP repayments.
Are annual bonuses taxed at a higher tax rate in Australia?+−
No separate bonus tax rate exists in Australia. Bonuses form part of your total assessable income for the financial year and are taxed at your marginal tax rate (plus Medicare levy and any applicable HELP repayment tier).
