Take-home pay by state & territory

Australian income tax has been collected entirely at the federal level since 1942 — no state or territory levies its own, so gross salary and take-home pay are identical everywhere for the same salary. What actually differs by state is industry and lifestyle, covered on each state or territory's own page. Figures are shown natively in Australian dollars.
