The Australian Government Department of Human Services has set a minimum amount that must remain in a person’s wage after tax and child support have been deducted. This amount is termed as Protected Earnings Amount (PEA). The PEA is reviewed each year and adjusted on January 1 to allow for increases in the cost of living. For the year 2021, the PEA from January 1 is set to $383.10 weekly. This is the amount that must be set aside for your employee/contractor after tax and child support have been deducted.
