Here you can read about the Australian minimum and average salaries, the VAT, fuel prices and a lot of other economic data of the country.
Although it is practically impossible to compare Hungary and Australia at first glance, we will make an attempt to do it in the most objective way we have access to. We are going to use such official and public statistic data which are available for everyone to follow.

We think that the table of average earnings below is not a comprehensive one, but it can provide a good starting point to orientate and demonstrate the wages you can expect when you work in Australia full-time. The following data is only for a general information. It is possible to earn more and also to earn less than these amounts. However, you should not be deceived by the high Australian earnings, as some expenses can be much higher than the ones you got used to in Hungary.
