Calculates the cost of one wage including Superannuation, Leave Loading, Casual Loading (if applicable), Workcover, Payroll Tax for a specified period. It helps you to work out how many hours & what rate you can afford to pay for a new position, based on wage conditions in Australia

This tool is particularly designed to budget for positions funded by grants.
Often the questions about who you can employ and for how long arise when dealing with a fixed amount of income.
Should you employ a person with high skills and experience for a shorter time, or perhaps it's better to use a newer person and hence be able to give them more hours to do the work?

Simply enter all the employment conditions, including start and end dates, hours per week, pay rate, plus all the usual employment costs (super etc), and the Single Wage Calculator shows you the full cost of the position. This is presented per hour, per week, per year, and as the cost for the contract period specified by the dates you have entered.
