What $67,500 means in practice
$22,500 of this salary is taxed at 30c in the dollar and you have no offset left, so with the 2% Medicare levy you keep about $680 of each extra $1,000. This band runs from $45,001 to $135,000, which holds most of the Australian workforce.
With a study or training loan, nothing is repaid yet: compulsory repayments start above $69,528 of repayment income, and $67,500 is $2,028 below that. Your take-home is the same with or without the debt.
The Medicare levy surcharge does not touch a single person on this income, whether or not they hold private hospital cover: it starts above $105,000 for singles ($210,000 for families).
Salary sacrificing 5% ($3,375) into super costs you $2,257 in take-home pay, not $3,375: $1,118 is returned in tax and levy not paid, because that slice is taxed at 30c plus the levy. In the fund it is taxed at 15%.
On top of $67,500 your employer must pay 12% into super, $8,100.00 a year, which is not part of take-home pay. With the 5% sacrifice above your fund receives $11,475 in total.
If $67,500 is a package that already includes super, your salary is $60,267.86 and the 12% guarantee is $7,232.14, so take-home pay is $50,558 a year ($4,213 a month). Ask whether a quoted figure is "plus super" or "including super": the gap is the whole 12% guarantee.
