Frequently asked questions
Are these figures before or after tax?
Before tax. Use the Take-Home Pay Calculator to see the after-tax effect of a rise.
Does a pay rise increase my super?
Usually. From 1 July 2026, super guarantee is generally 12% of qualifying earnings, so a pay rise that increases qualifying earnings will generally increase employer super contributions.
How do I compare against inflation?
Compare your percentage rise against the current CPI figure — a rise below CPI is a real-terms pay cut.
