Sabrin Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 We need a take-home package of $6000pm. What sort of gross salary should we look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggen Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 For a couple (ie two earners) or $6000pm each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggen Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Earning about $100k p.a excluding superannuation would mean a monthly income of about $6,100 p.m (https://www.paycalculator.com.au/) But two people each earning $42K p.a excluding superannuation would result in roughly the same.... so if two people are earning you both just need to earn more than $42k p.a excluding super and you will have more than $6,000 p.m for the household.

We've worked on a budget of about $5kpm for 2 adults, 1 child so aiming to clear $6kpm between the two of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly seems doable. Thanks for the link - will check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggen Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yea, $6,000 p.m is very doable... in fact if both of you are working you will almost definitely be taking home more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Which 2 occupations? Have you look at any of the salary surveys? They should give you a ballpark figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
