If you’re taking on a new job or making an offer to a candidate, agreeing on the right salary can be a difficult task. Average salary benchmarks and a jobseeker’s experience level both come into play when salary is being negotiated and can make a big difference to the final offer.
We’ve put together some benchmarks on average salaries in Australia categorised by sector, so you have the right tools at your disposal when it comes to negotiating a salary.
If you’d like to know how your wage compares with others in your industry, you can also use our salary calculator to see how your current income shapes up against people with the same job title as you.
If you’re going through the job interview process, we also have plenty of helpful resources on how to negotiate salary and secure a competitive figure. Before you agree to an offer, you can also look at exactly how much you’ll be earning after tax with our take-home pay calculator.
Our salary guide is here to help employers and jobseekers with everything from negotiating a salary to average salaries and take-home pay, but it’s only a small part of what we do here at Page Personnel. If you’re looking for help taking the next step in your career or are searching for the right candidate for your business, get in touch with our recruitment specialists to discuss your requirements.
