What it means
At $95k 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 22.0%, 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 $3,821 a year ($146.95 a fortnight). Your employer also pays $11,400 in super on top, so your total package is worth $106,400.
