Australian salary rates and market pay by role
Compare peer-submitted salaries by role, industry and city before a job offer, annual review or pay negotiation.
Use this salary comparison tool to compare pay by industry, role, location and years of experience across Australia. Filter market salary data for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, then review how total compensation changes by seniority and employment type.
Submitted records show base salary, stock grants and bonuses separately, so you can compare annual salary and total compensation without mixing cash pay with equity or one-off incentives.

How to read the salary report
Use the range, evidence count and freshness together. A single median is useful context, but the full distribution is a stronger starting point for an offer or pay-review conversation.
Read the range, not just one number

Transparent methodology
How a publishable cohort is built
- Match comparable evidence. Only compatible full-time records are compared. Base salary stays separate from total compensation, and PayCal does not guess a full-time equivalent when part-time hours are missing.
- Protect sparse groups. Exact salary statistics need at least five compatible records. Smaller salary cohorts are suppressed or broadened, and any broader scope is disclosed.
- Show evidence quality. Sample size, latest submitted date and confidence remain beside the result. Employer or client names, source IDs and contact details are not published.
