Average Wages February 2010 Figures released on 20th March 2010 show the February 2010 average wages as follows:
Full-time adult ordinary time earnings $1,243.10 pw ($64.641 pa) Full-time adult total earnings $1,290.70 pw ($67.116 pa) Male Full Time Total Earnings $1,396.50 pw ($72,618 pa) Female Full Time Total Earnings $1,106.20 pw ($57,522 pa)
$67 116 - $14000 tax = $53 000 average after tax
There claim is average disposable is $96 000 taking the 4.8 to 465 00 ratio.
average per household gross of $135 000
$96 000 /$53 000 = 1.81 average earners per household.
My thoughts after tax,after mortgage,after living costs the average disposable income is minimal for the average wage earner.
