Where Patrick Murtagh's Salary Fits In
Patrick Murtagh's exact salary is not publicly available from the sources used on this site. The ABS, Fair Work, and the ATO do not publish individual earnings. However, we can place his potential earnings in the context of Australian pay benchmarks.
The National Full-Time Average
The most recent ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey shows the national full-time adult ordinary-time average is $2,083.70 per week. That works out to about $108,352 per year. This is the line on the Average site. If Patrick Murtagh earns around this figure, his salary would be typical for a full-time worker.
For comparison, the full-time median is about $90,532 per year, and the all-employees median is about $74,100 per year. These medians come from the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours survey. The average is pulled up by higher earners, so the median gives a better sense of the typical worker.
Take-Home Pay on the Average
A resident earning the full-time average of $108,352 would face the following tax for 2026–27:
- Nil tax on the first $18,200
- 15% on the next $26,800 (up to $45,000)
- 30% on the next $90,000 (up to $135,000)
- Plus the 2% Medicare levy
That results in an estimated tax of about $23,500, leaving take-home pay of roughly $84,850 per year, or $1,632 per week. This is a rough sketch; actual tax depends on deductions and offsets.
State Variations
Full-time averages vary by state. For example, the Australian Capital Territory has the highest at about $119,090 per year, while Tasmania is lowest at about $96,008.
