Caveat. The shares cover everyone who reported this occupation on their tax return — full-time, part-time and part-year — grouped by taxable income, which is close to but not the same as gross salary. So the strip reads slightly low versus full-time salaries.

Frequently asked questions
- Where does the salary comparison data come from?
- The occupation income bands come from ATO Taxation Statistics 2023-24, Individuals — Table 15B (taxable income by occupation) and Table 14A. This is the latest financial year the ATO has published individual-level statistics for.
- Is this my exact take-home pay compared to others?
- No — the bands are grouped by taxable income, which is close to but not the same as gross salary (it's after deductions). The data also covers everyone who reported the occupation, including full-time, part-time and part-year workers, so the distribution reads a little low compared to full-time salaries alone.
- Is my salary or occupation sent anywhere?
- No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser using the published ATO bands — nothing you enter is transmitted or stored.
- Why can't I find my exact job title?
- The ATO groups occupations using ANZSCO classification codes, which are broader than individual job titles. Pick the closest match — most roles map clearly to one ANZSCO occupation.
