Raise and hours simulator
Model salary changes before you make a career decision
A pay rise, extra hours, or a new work pattern can look simple on paper but feel different after tax. This simulator turns those scenarios into weekly, monthly, and annual take-home estimates so you can judge the trade-off before you negotiate or accept an offer.
Hours change
Model what happens when your weekly hours increase or decrease while your salary or hourly value changes.
Package planning
Keep super, salary sacrifice, and total package value visible while you test a future role or pay review.
Salary simulator questions
How much of a pay rise do I keep after tax?
The exact amount depends on your taxable income, Medicare levy, salary sacrifice, and pay cycle. The simulator compares current and future take-home pay so you can see the practical difference.
Should I take more hours if my annual pay rises?
Compare the future monthly pay against the extra hours required. A larger annual salary may still be a poor trade if the weekly time cost is high and the after-tax gain is modest.
