traceyd Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi all, I am planning on emigrating next year and am a nurse, having been qualified for 8 years so have been told that I will be looking at a salary of about $70000 annually. Does anyone know how much that would be in take home pay a month? Also, I am worried about retirement and know that employers pay 9% into superannuation, but I am 40 years old and wonder how much extra I would have to pay a month to get a decent salary. Any advice is appreciated. Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VickyMel Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Someone on here pointed me to this site which I am finding useful http://www.paycalculator.com.au/ Put your expected salary in - tick whether or not that includes super and it will tell you your take home by week/fortnight and month Just put in 70,000 (including super) and it suggests that you would be brining home $4212 / month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 If you can afford to I recommend trying to match the employee contribution as a salary sacrifice pre tax contribution. So they put in 9%, you put in 9% too. If you don't have much super already then you really do need to put in a decent amount to ensure a reasonable amount in 20 years time. Also I would research the various funds, choose one with a good track record and low fees. You should be targetting a growth option given you have at least 20 years to retirement.

Quoll Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Another benefit available to nurses is salary sacrificing things like rent, mortgage or even daily living costs - be sure to check them out early on as it will effectively give you another $16k tax free. I agree with Parleycross, sacrifice as much as you can into super because the standard 9% is going to go nowhere near a comfortable retirement.
