Copy this layout into a spreadsheet or print it out.
Enter the gross (before tax) figures for both roles.
Calculate the super amount based on the provided percentage (usually 11.5% in AU).
Use our Take-Home Pay Calculator to get the post-tax monthly figures for both.
Consider the 'soft' benefits like commute time and WFH flexibility—these often have a large impact on your quality of life.
Look at the 'Whole Package': Don't just focus on the base salary. 10 extra days of leave or a $5,000 training budget can be worth a lot.
Factor in the commute: A higher-paying job that adds 2 hours to your day might actually lower your 'true hourly worth'.
Calculate the gap: Is the increase in pay worth the risk of moving to a new company and starting fresh?
