BEFORE YOU START

This is not an ordinary salary calculator.

Victoria assesses earnings from current skilled employment. Your regular pay can differ from the amount you may declare in an ROI.

Why could my ROI earnings be different?

Victoria uses eligible earnings from current skilled employment as one factor in selecting Registrations of Interest (ROIs). Your annual salary can differ from the amount Victoria allows you to declare—for example, where you work part-time or casually, receive overtime, or work in multiple jobs.

This estimator shows the calculation clearly. For complicated employment it marks results as illustrative and requiring official verification, rather than giving an unsupported guaranteed ROI amount.

INTERACTIVE TOOL

Estimate your Victorian ROI earnings

Work through your situation and pay details. The result updates when you select Calculate My Estimate.

JavaScript is required for this calculator. You can still use the official Victoria annual earnings estimator.

01Check your ROI earnings situation

Only eligible employment in the correct Victorian location can be counted. Salary itself does not establish nomination eligibility.

Visa nomination pathway *

Where do you currently live? *

Are you currently working? *

Where is the employer physically located? *For 491, employer location must be in designated regional Victoria. A virtual office does not qualify.

Skill level of the job you are paid for *This is your current job, which may differ from your nominated occupation. Check ANZSCO classification ↗

Current occupation or role optional

Select your details to check whether earnings may be claimed.

02Enter your gross pay details

Enter amounts before income tax. Do not include mandatory superannuation unless it is mistakenly included in the figure you enter below.

Employment arrangement *

Gross pay for this period (A$) *

Pay period *

Non-claimable amount included above optional

Only subtract amounts already inside gross pay: overtime, allowances, mandatory employer super, bonuses, reimbursements, etc.

Eligible additions NOT already included optional

Only qualifying penalty pay, sales-role commissions or salary sacrifice not already included. Same pay period as gross pay.

Type of eligible addition (if any)

Does the gross figure include weekend/public holiday penalty rates?If penalty rates are included, use an actual pay period (weekly, fortnightly, etc.), not an hourly figure, as Victoria instructs.

Normal full-time hours per week *Use the normal full-time hours for your role, not an assumed standard.

For casual work with variable hours, Victoria asks for the latest eight weeks of pay and hours. Contractor and casual results here are illustrations until checked against Victoria's official calculator and evidence. Official calculator ↗

YOUR ESTIMATEReady when you are

Your earnings snapshot starts here

Enter your work and pay details, then calculate to see the annualised earnings, any adjustments and salary-related VPT points.

Not a nomination decision. Earnings must be supported by evidence. Never enter an illustrative result in your ROI without checking the official Victorian tool.

Working more than one job?

Only the highest-paying eligible skilled job can be claimed. Never add salaries together.

Comparison is kept in this browser tab only and is cleared on refresh. Each job must independently meet Victoria's eligibility rules.

PAY COMPONENTS

What can you include in your Victorian ROI salary?

Using your take-home pay or total remuneration package without checking its components can produce a misleading figure.

✓ Earnings Victoria may accept

Gross base wages before tax
Pay while on eligible leave
Documented weekend/public holiday penalty pay
Sales commissions for qualifying sales roles
Salary-sacrificed earnings included in remuneration

× Do not claim

Mandatory employer superannuation

Sign-on and non-sales performance bonuses
Tips, reimbursements and non-monetary benefits
Investments, government payments or unskilled-job earnings

EMPLOYMENT TYPES

Different work patterns. Different calculations.

The estimator accounts for your pay period and applicable work hours. These are transparent illustrations, not an imitation of Victoria's unpublished adjustment logic.

Check Victoria’s official earnings calculator ↗

Full-time employees

Convert eligible periodic wages to an annual amount. Employer super and non-claimable payments are excluded.

Part-time employees

Annualise pay and scale to the normal full-time hours for that role. Confirm the adjusted amount officially.

Casual employees

Adjust for the documented casual loading. Variable-hours employees should use the latest eight weeks' earnings and hours.

Contractors and unpaid leave

Use actual documentary records; the official authority must assess eligibility and the amount claimed.

EVIDENCE CHECKLIST

Can you prove the salary you claim?

Victoria verifies earnings if an applicant is invited. These are documents to prepare—not items to upload to this calculator.

Current employment contract and offer letter Reference letter or position description with duties and hours Most recent four weeks of payslips Superannuation statement showing recent contribution For variable-hours casual work: eight weeks of payslips For contractors: services agreement, invoices, tax return and Notice of Assessment For unpaid leave: evidence of leave and underlying contract

The official department can request additional records. Keep source documents accurate and unaltered.

NEXT STEP

Earnings are only one part of Victoria's ranking.

Age, English, occupation, qualifications and other factors also contribute. Once you have verified your claimable earnings, check how they fit within Victoria’s complete points framework.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Victoria ROI earnings calculator FAQs

Is this the same as a Victorian salary or take-home-pay calculator?

No. This tool estimates annual employment earnings for Victoria’s skilled nomination Registration of Interest (ROI). It does not calculate income tax, net pay or market salary rates.

Can I claim earnings if I earn less than $80,000?

Victoria does not set a minimum earnings requirement for nomination. The Victorian Points Test currently awards no earnings points below $80,000, but a valid lower income may still be declared if the job meets the relevant rules.

Does part-time pay count in a Victorian ROI?

Potentially. Victoria adjusts part-time remuneration to full-time equivalent hours. The estimator offers an illustrative conversion; verify the figure using Victoria’s official calculator before lodging your ROI.

Can I include overtime, allowances, super or bonuses?

Mandatory employer super, overtime, allowances and most non-sales bonuses cannot be included. Some penalties and sales commissions may qualify. Do not double-count eligible income already included in your gross wage figure.

Can I combine earnings from two Victorian jobs?

No. Victoria says to claim only the highest-paying eligible skilled job. Calculate qualifying jobs separately and do not add their salaries together.

Do casual workers and contractors use the same formula?

No. Victoria removes casual loading and asks variable-hours casual employees to use their latest eight weeks. Contractor remuneration is assessed on supporting records. For these cases this page shows illustrative estimates and directs you to confirm the official amount.

Can offshore applicants claim Victorian salary points?

No. If you are living overseas, Victoria does not require employment earnings in the ROI. Other eligibility and invitation requirements still apply.

Do salary-related VPT points guarantee a 190 or 491 invitation?

No. Victorian Points Test results are comparative ranking factors and not a pass mark or promise of an invitation. SkillSelect and nomination eligibility are separate requirements.
