BuntyStoops Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi, I am just doing the research on the cost of living and how much we will have to earn to cover this. I saw a post the other day which had a 'pay calculator' on it which enabled you to work out (roughly) how much you will get after tax, could someone help out and point me in the right direction? We are hoping to come across to WA to work in Youth/Community work and my OH in mechanics. We are just at the beginning of our visa process Many Thanks, Kirsty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 The Australian Tax Office also have a tax calculator on their website. http://www.ato.gov.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Girl Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi there, I'm a new poster (although I joined ages ago!). We're still in the UK but will hopefully be coming out on a 457 visa within the next couple of years. I've already done some research and have established that the only deductions out of my husband's salary should be for income tax (any super should be paid for by his employer and be on top of his salary). So I'm confused as to why this calculator took $10k off for super!? (I ticked the "non-resident" box). Also, when I unchecked the "non-resident" box it showed we would pay $6k LESS income tax! Am confused now.... Any clarification on these two points would be appreciated, thanks :-) WG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like you can send me your e-mail address via a PM (top of the screen) then I can send you a execl sheet that may help you with the cost of living research and other stuff.

verystormy Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 457 visas are resident for tax purposes. So, super would be deducted. If, at the end of the 457 visa, you leave Australia, then you can claim back your super payments, though it is then taxable at 35%. Hi there, I'm a new poster (although I joined ages ago!).

I'm trying to find the website which said that super is the employer's financial responsibility. Will post it if I find it! What is this "LAFH" allowance I've heard about? Sounds appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Girl Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Hi Straighttothepoint, My question is a very similar one to Buntystoop's. Would it be possible to also send me the spreadsheet if you don't mind, please? Thanks, WG :-) Edited May 31, 2013 by Wombat Girl misread quote - thought he was replying to me!
