What it means
At $200k the dollars above $190,000 are taxed at the top rate of 45%, plus the 2% Medicare levy. Your average rate (tax plus Medicare as a share of your salary) is 29.9%, but your marginal rate is 45% plus 2% Medicare. So a $1,000 pay rise would add about $530 to your take-home pay.
With HELP debt, you'd also repay about $20,000 a year ($769.23 a fortnight). Your employer also pays $24,000 in super on top, so your total package is worth $224,000.
