Turn a salary, a job offer, or a freelance rate into take-home
Compare what you keep, not the headline package.
Step 1
Start from the cash that hits your account
Super, a car, and a bonus that is "up to" are not take-home. Put the regular pay on one line and the uncertain pay on another.
Step 2
Compare two offers on the same hours
A higher salary with a longer commute or unpaid overtime can pay you less per hour. Write the hours you will actually work.
Step 3
If you are going freelance, price the quiet weeks
A day rate has to cover leave, tax, super, and weeks with no invoice. Divide the income you need by the days you can realistically bill.
Step 4
Drop the result into the payday split
A new salary only helps if the bills due before the next pay still fit. Run that check before you resign.
