How to use this (beginner-friendly)
- Enter your permanent base salary and leave defaults (annual/sick/public holidays).
- Choose contract rate mode:
- Day rate if your contract is quoted per day.
- Hourly rate if quoted per hour (set hours/day too).
- Tick whether contract rate already includes super.
- Read the comparison: green means contract is higher, blue means permanent is higher.
Tip: your permanent salary value is remembered in this browser so you don’t need to retype it each time.
Note: Planning guide only (not tax advice). Excludes GST/company structure effects, insurance, bench time, and accounting costs.
