Melbourne to Brisbane, with one-off moving costs kept apart from the recurring change.
Every comparison runs the same three steps, so a job change, a contract rate and a four-day week are measured on the same basis.
Answers use Australian rules for the 2026 to 2027 year.
Read the pay and tax guidesThe package including super works out to a base of $160,714 with $19,286 of employer super. The base plus super offer gives $165,000 of base and $19,800 of super, so it is $4,800 higher in total package and about $200 a month more in take-home pay.
PayLens works out a break-even day rate by pricing paid leave, public holidays, sick leave, expected downtime, insurance, accounting and self funded super against the permanent package. For $150,000 plus super with four weeks leave, the break-even rate is about $847 a day.
Yes. Employer super is calculated at the 12 per cent rate for 2026 to 2027 and shown as a separate line, so a package quoted as inclusive of super can be read against one quoted on top of super.
Commuting is counted as money and time separately. Travel cost per office day reduces spendable cash, and hours are reported per year. PayLens does not put a dollar value on your time unless you turn that option on.
Anything not supplied appears as an amber assumption chip on the card it belongs to. Nothing is filled in silently, and a bonus with unknown reliability is shown at both 50 and 100 per cent.
No. Every view reports differences between the options on pay, super, hours and job related costs. The judgement stays with you.
Estimates only, not financial advice. Missing assumptions always surface as amber chips rather than silent defaults. On mobile, comparisons stack with a sticky difference bar.
