Understanding the Smart Salary Phone Number Query
The phrase "smart salary phone number" typically refers to a request for contact details of Smart Salary, a provider of salary packaging and novated leasing services in Australia. This site does not provide phone numbers for third-party providers, but we can help you understand how your salary compares to national benchmarks. The key figure to know is the national full-time adult average ordinary-time earnings, which is the line this site uses as a reference.
Where the National Full-Time Average Stands
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Average Weekly Earnings release for May 2026, full-time adult average weekly ordinary time earnings (AWOTE) were $2,083.70 per week. Multiplied by 52 weeks, that equates to about $108,352 per year. This is the figure we use as the "line" on this site. It increased by 3.7% annually from May 2025.
Medians and Minimum Wage
For a more typical salary, the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours survey (August 2025) reported:
- Full-time median weekly earnings: about $1,887 per week, or $90,532 per year.
- All employees median (including part-time): about $1,436 per week, or $74,100 per year.
These medians are lower than the average because high earners pull the average up. The national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 per hour, $1,004.90 per week on a 38-hour week, or about $52,255 per year (Fair Work). Award minimums rose by 4.75% from that date.
State and Territory Averages
Full-time adult average ordinary-time earnings vary across Australia. Using the on-site figures derived from the ABS May 2026 release:
- Australian Capital Territory: $119,090 per year
- Western Australia: $115,825
- New South Wales: $109,658
- Victoria: $106,137
- Queensland: $106,064
- Northern Territory: $103,173
- South Australia: $102,450
- Tasmania: $96,008
These are averages, not medians. For a more detailed breakdown by state, see our States and territories page.
How Salary Packaging Affects Your Comparison
If you use Smart Salary or another salary packaging provider, your gross salary (before packaging) is what you should compare to the national average. Salary packaging reduces your taxable income but does not change your gross salary for benchmarking purposes. For example, if your gross salary is $110,000 and you package $15,000, your taxable income becomes $95,000. Your gross salary of $110,000 is above the national average of $108,352, but your taxable income is below the full-time median of $90,532. The tax savings depend on your marginal rate.
Tax Rates 2026–27
For the 2026–27 financial year, resident tax rates are:
- Nil up to $18,200
- 15% from $18,201 to $45,000
- 30% from $45,001 to $135,000
- 37% from $135,001 to $190,000
- 45% above $190,000 Plus a 2% Medicare levy (with possible reductions for low-income earners).

Why the Phone Number Isn't Here
This site focuses on salary data from the ABS, Fair Work, and the ATO. We do not maintain directories of provider contact numbers. For Smart Salary's phone number, please visit their official website. If you are looking for a specific salary figure associated with the term "smart salary phone number", no such figure exists in official Australian earnings statistics. The term likely refers to the service, not a pay rate.
