How does salary packaging work for not for profit organisations?

PBI Benefit

An example: Liz is a carer at a nursing home and has a salary of $48,000 per annum before super. Her fortnightly take home pay before tax is $1,846.15. Liz’s rent is $600 per fortnight, which is over $1,300 per month. After she pays her rent, her fortnightly earnings go down to $975.88 after tax. If Liz were to take her rent out using her pre-tax earnings, she would take home an extra $144 every fortnight compared to paying it from her net salary.

Rebatable Benefit

An example: Trevor works for a trade union organisation and has a salary package of $88,000 per annum before super. His take home pay was $2,529, every fortnight before he paid the mortgage on his house, which is $610 every fortnight. Therefore after he paid his mortgage, he had $1,919 left. We set up his salary package to pay his mortgage from his pre tax salary by using the available cap and included the FBT liability after the rebate of 47% was applied. Trevor’s take home pay after his mortgage was paid went to $1,941 every fortnight. Effectively this meant that he had a pay increase of $14 every fortnight, which equates to an extra $361 per year.
