Comparing two job offers beyond the headline number
The salary with the bigger number isn't always the better offer once tax and super are factored in — moving into a higher tax bracket, or a difference in how super is packaged, can close the gap between two offers considerably.
This calculator runs both salaries through the same FY2026-27 income tax bands, Medicare Levy and 12% super treatment so you can see the real after-tax, after-super difference per pay cycle.
What's included in this comparison
- Income tax and Medicare Levy for each salary at FY2026-27 rates
- 12% Superannuation Guarantee treatment for each offer
- Resulting take-home pay per week, fortnight and year for both
- The dollar and percentage difference between the two offers
