Formula
The ATO taxes bonuses at your marginal rate. The tax on a bonus is the difference between your total tax with the bonus and your tax without it.
Preguntas Frecuentes
Are bonuses taxed at a higher rate in Australia?
Bonuses are taxed as regular income at your marginal rate. A A$5,000 bonus on an A$80,000 salary is taxed at 30% (your marginal rate). It feels higher because PAYG withholding may use a flat method that over-withholds. Any excess is refunded when you lodge your return.
Can I salary sacrifice a bonus into super?
Some employers allow salary sacrificing bonuses into super. The contribution is taxed at only 15% inside the fund (instead of your marginal rate of 30-37%), saving significant tax. Must stay within the A$30,000 concessional contributions cap.
How does my employer calculate bonus withholding?
The ATO provides two methods: Schedule 5 Method A (flat percentage based on bonus amount) and Method B (marginal method comparing tax with and without the bonus). Method B is more accurate but complex. Your employer chooses which method to use.
Will I get a refund if too much tax was withheld?
Yes. If your employer used a flat withholding rate that exceeds your actual marginal rate, the overpayment is refunded when you lodge your annual tax return. This is common with bonus payments.
Is super paid on bonuses?
Generally yes. Bonuses are considered ordinary time earnings for super purposes. Your employer should pay 12% super on the bonus amount. Some performance bonuses or one-off payments may be treated differently under specific awards.
