Column 2 (AUD 18,150) + column 3 (ie 33% of the difference between AUD 55,000 and AUD 67,000 = 33% of AUD 12,000) AUD 18,150 + AUD 3,960 (33% of AUD 12,000) = AUD 22,110 The amount of post adjustment is AUD 22,110 a year. |

Example 4: A member's salary is AUD 100,000 and they are posted as an accompanied member. This is how to work out the post adjustment. Column 2 + column 3 + column 4 AUD 18,150 + AUD 9,900 (33% of AUD 30,000) + AUD 2,475 (16.5% of AUD 15,000) = AUD 30,525. |
