How the tax is worked out
You pay no income tax on the first $18,200. Income from $18,201 to $45,000 is taxed at 15%, income from $45,001 to $135,000 at 30%. On $75,000, that comes to $13,020 in income tax. You also pay the 2% Medicare levy, $1,500. Altogether you keep $60,480, or 80.6% of your pay.
Your employer must also pay $9,000 into your super (12% of your pay). That's on top of your salary, unless your contract says your package includes super.

At $75,000 you'd make a compulsory HECS-HELP repayment of about $821 a year, leaving $59,659 take-home, or $2,295 a fortnight.
