How this is worked out

Hourly rate = yearly salary ÷ (hours a week × paid weeks). A full-time week in most awards is 38 hours.
After tax uses 2026–27 resident tax rates, the low income tax offset and the 2% Medicare levy on the yearly amount, plus study loan repayments if ticked.
Comparing a casual rate with a salary? Casual rates include a 25% loading instead of paid leave, so compare a casual rate with about 1.25 × the permanent hourly rate.
