A Sydney teacher on $95,000 gross salary takes home approximately $73,812 per year ($6,151 per month). Income tax is $19,288 and Medicare levy is $1,900. Your $11,400 superannuation is paid separately by your employer on top of your salary — it does not reduce your take home pay. NSW Department of Education employees can access salary packaging for laptops and professional development, which reduces taxable income and increases take home slightly.

Working Holiday Makers (WHM) in Tasmania — and all of Australia — are taxed at a flat 15% on the first $45,000 earned each year. There is no tax-free threshold for working holiday makers. On $35,000 in seasonal earnings, you would pay $5,250 in tax and take home $29,750. Unlike Australian residents, working holiday makers do not pay the Medicare levy. Your employer still contributes 12% superannuation ($4,200) on your behalf, which you can claim back as a Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP) when you leave. Select “Working Holiday Maker” under Residency Status in the calculator above. Source: ATO working holiday maker tax rates 2025–26 · ato.gov.au
