Compare contrasting employment offers side-by-side. Evaluates user-supplied net take-home pay, transit expenses, and daily commute hours.

Crucial Package Distinction: In Australia, an offer advertised as "$80,000 + Super" gives you $80,000 gross salary plus mandatory super contributions into your fund. An offer advertised as "$80,000 package (inclusive of super)" deducts the 11.5% superannuation from that headline figure, yielding approximately $71,748 gross cash salary before tax.

Australian Remuneration Architecture: Key Terminology

"Base Salary Plus Super":

The employer pays the base salary to the employee, and pays the mandatory 11.5% superannuation guarantee on top directly to the employee's nominated fund.

"Total Remuneration Package (TRP)":

The quoted figure includes employer superannuation. For instance, a $100,000 package comprises approximately $89,686 base salary and $10,314 superannuation.
