You should be OK with that wage.....it will all depend on where you live in the Sydney area though.

Hi Harshal

It's equivalent to making 2.5 - 3.5 lacs pm in INDIA ( I'm not meaning the dollar to rupee conversion) . The lifestyle you can afford depends on where you choose to live in sydney .

Anything above 60k AUD is not at all bad considering starting a fresh beginning in a new world.

Hi,

Are you also considering a move on a 457 visa ? You got a job offer already?

There are several parameters to consider before you calculate your net salary on a 457 visa.

First, make sure with your employer that the 90k excludes superannuation, otherwise it's 9% to remove from your salary.

Then on a 457 visa, you can be eligible for living away from home allowance, it can considerably reduce the taxes you have to pay.

For the 457 visa, i paid 265 dollars for the visa fee. You also have to arrange for private medical insurance, unless it's done by your employer.

Rub,
9% Super is not included in the salary.
Why you had to pay 265 AUD when company did sponsor for you?
Medical Insurance will be arranged by employer.

I didnt get what u said about living away from home allowance..... how much impact it will have on tax reduction?

BTW they have just offered me.....tomorrow is my interview so let's c what happens. Once everything gets confirmed, I will surely update you.

Ok, it's a good salary then. I'll msg u later with the explanation for living away from home allowance.

I'm getting a relocation allowance from my employer, but I paid for my visa application when i submitted the online application, the employer just paid the sponsor and nomination charges. Good also if they are paying your medical insurance.

Best of luck for your interview.

Cheers.
