Salary Packaging

What is salary packaging and how does it work? 

What is salary packaging?

Salary packaging (also known as salary sacrifice) is a benefit offered to you by your employer. It allows you to pay for everyday goods and services using your pre-tax salary.

It is an ATO-approved way of maximising your salary by minimising your tax bill. So, on payday, you pay less tax, and there’s more money to spend on the things that matter.


How does salary packaging work?​

Salary packaging is a way to use your pre-tax pay for a range of everyday expenses. Here’s an example of your take-home pay before and after salary packaging.​​
