Is a raise always worth it?
Because Australia uses progressive tax brackets, a gross raise never translates fully into take-home pay — and crossing into the 37% or 45% bracket means a smaller net gain. This tool shows the real difference in your pocket after income tax and the Medicare Levy, so you can judge whether a higher-stress role is genuinely worth it.
