Super on top or included
A package figure that includes super sounds larger than it is. At 12%, $105,000 including super is a $93,750 salary. The ATO super guarantee page (opens in a new tab) has the rate, and the super guarantee calculator splits any package.
Bonuses, sacrifice and a car
A bonus here is spread across 26 fortnights, so an unpaid or lower bonus makes an offer worse than it looks. Performance bonuses also earn super, as the ATO qualifying earnings page (opens in a new tab) explains. More options adds salary sacrifice and a car, using the same engine as the novated lease calculator. The pay calculator splits one salary across pay cycles.
Which number should I compare first?
Take-home pay shows what reaches your account. Total package adds super, so an offer can win on one and lose on the other.
Does the comparison include leave or other benefits?
No. Extra leave, a shorter week or a better commute are worth weighing yourself. This compares money only.
Is my comparison saved when I share it?
No. A share link holds the figures in the link itself, after the # sign. Browsers don't send that part to a server.
