Methodology

  • Occupations with fewer than 1,000 individuals are omitted.
  • The gender gap is the male median taxable income less the female median, as a share of the male median. A negative figure means the female median is the higher one. This list is ordered by how close the gap is to zero, in either direction.
  • Figures are from ATO Taxation Statistics 2023–24.
