Take-Home Pay by Profession

Take-Home Pay by Job
A salary figure is only half the story. What you actually keep depends on income tax, the Medicare levy and any study loan, while super is paid on top. Pick a profession to see typical pay and the real 2026-27 take-home, then check your own number with the salary calculator.
More professions are on the way. We are adding take-home pages for teachers, electricians, aged care workers and police officers next, each built the same way, from an official salary figure through to the pay you take home for 2026-27. In the meantime, the average salary in Australia page covers typical pay across all of these jobs, and any salary can be run through the salary calculator for a full take-home breakdown.
