How it works

Example 1

Gavin is a head of department at the local grammar school and has a salary of $112,000 per annum before super. His take home pay was $3,188, every fortnight before he paid the mortgage on his house, which is $610 every fortnight. Therefore after he paid his mortgage, he had $2,578 left. We set up his salary package to pay his mortgage from his pretax salary by using his available cap and included the FBT liability after the rebate of 47% was applied. His take home pay after his mortgage was paid went to $3204.11 every fortnight after reimbursement. Effectively this meant that his pay increased by $15.91 every fortnight, which equates to an extra $414 per year.

Example 2

Catherine is a high school principal and has a salary package of $145,000 per annum before super. Her take home pay was $3,976, every fortnight before she paid the mortgage on her house, which is $610 every fortnight. Therefore after she paid her mortgage, she had $3,366 left. We set up her salary package to pay her mortgage from her pre-tax salary by using her available cap and included the FBT liability after the rebate of 47% was applied. Her take home pay after her mortgage was paid went to $4,033 every fortnight after reimbursement Effectively this meant that her pay increased by $56.83 every fortnight, which equates to an extra $1,478 per year.
