How we compute your Australia salary rank
We use the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Employee Earnings and Hours May 2025 (cat. 6306.0) distribution of weekly earnings by age to pinpoint where your salary lands. Your entered gross salary is ranked within your ABS age band (20 & under / 21-34 / 35-44 / 45-54 / 55+), with an all-ages rank shown too. The all-employee median is A$1,436/week (about A$74,672/year) and the full-time median is A$1,887/week (about A$98,000/year). Take-home pay applies ATO 2025-26 resident income tax and the 2% Medicare levy; superannuation is employer-paid and not deducted.
