Salary position
Where does your salary sit?
Use actual gross annual pay before deductions, including bonuses.
Approximate because the source publishes salary bands, not individual salaries.
Age cannot be used for this percentile because the NTA does not publish salary-band counts crossed with age.
Age changes average pay, but differently for each group
The national average peaks for men aged 55–59, while women's average remains much flatter across working ages.
Switch from sex to industry or employer size to see how the age curve changes. These are group averages, separate from the salary-band percentile above.
Average annual salary by age
Gross salary plus bonus among people employed throughout the year.
