I am looking for a job in Australia. How much salary should I ask to run a three children family? |
Home rent, school fees, utility bills, monthly supplies, petrol (all per month) How are taxes calculated in Australia. Are the taxes paid from the salary automatically. It depends on your qualifications and profession as to what you can ask for in terms of salary. It also depends on what state you want to live in. For example, Sydney has a higher cost of living (rent, food, petrol) than Brisbane, however, their average pay is more. For people living permanently in Australia, if your kids go to a public school, they are essentially "free" - you'll have to pay for books, uniform, excursions etc. I'm not sure if you're not a permanent resident that you'll get this or not. Petrol depends on where you live. Right now it's between $1.12 and $1.26 per litre for Sydney north (it fluctuates throughout the week). Rent for Sydney (for 4 bedroom) varies depending on the area. Go to a real-estate website in Australia and look up the rental section to get an idea of what you get in what area. Electricity bills depend on how much you use too. Usually a few hundred a quarter for electricity (if you don't have an airconditioner and lots or heaters running all the time). Phone depends on usage + line rental. Maybe if you want to compare countries, a local call at a pay phone is 50 cents flatrate. Water bills may be included in your rent if you live in an apartment. You may find some useful information about Australia and its people at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (http://www.abs.gov.au/). Average weekly earnings from the site can be found here : (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/... The average weekly earnings is a bit over $1000 per week (before tax). And Employee earnings here: (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/... If you work for someone, taxes are usually taken out of your pay already/automatically. For the average individual, it's roughly 30% of your pay. If you're on a higher tax bracket, money earned above a threshold will be taxed more (I think the highest bracket is roughly 50% tax). Happy Job Hunting! Source(s): ---Added after I saw your addition---- You still didn't state what state/territory you want to live in...I'll base it on Sydney. Well - I'm in the same industry as you (I'm electrical engineer in building services), you can probably ask for 55 - 65k package (maybe a bit more if you've got good references and experience) up front and pay is usually reviewed yearly or after the probation period (3 months) so you can work that into your "deal" that pay will be reviewed after the initial period. It's the beginning of the year so the industry is a bit slow at the moment so you may find it a bit more difficult to get work - you may have to ask for a bit less initially to get your foot in the door. Often the company themselves will offer something to you without you asking and it's whether or not you'll agree to it rather than you asking! But those numbers will give you a ballpark figure. School fees I've already mentioned. If you need a bit more pay, could you wife work during school hours? Petrol - allow for $50-60 per week, as long as you have an average car (and not a high performance). If you do have say a four-wheel drive - it'll be closer to $100. Parking - depends where you work. It'll cost you an arm and a leg if it's in the CBD, and it's probably better if you catch public transport. Maybe your workplace may give you a parking spot? There's also traffic jams to contend with if you drive into the city. Food - depends again if you're budget conscious. If you are, $100 per week would be adequate (though I've seen families with over $200 per week) Rental - as I said before - look up real-estate websites (such as http://www.realestate.com.au/).... It really varies between areas. $500,000 Well, taxes are deducted automatically. As for salary expected, it all depends on your profession, experience and qualification. Judging by your expenses, at least A$5k. Well, people who run three children families are called nannies in Australia too. I'm sure you could google nanny salary in Australia and probably find out how much you should get. Oh wait...no...to be a nanny you have to be able to write sentances that children can comprehend...never mind! Git-R-Done yes tax come out of you pay, and you do tax's at the end of June. |
