00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.675
Can a pay rise leave you worse off? A
single parent, two kids, and a $2,000
raise

2
00:00:04.075 --> 00:00:08.446
Meet Tegan. A single parent with two
school-age kids.

3
00:00:08.446 --> 00:00:13.029
She earns $80,000.

4
00:00:13.029 --> 00:00:21.248
Mia is 9 and Leo is 6.

5
00:00:21.248 --> 00:00:27.723
On $80,000 she keeps $80,051 a year, with
Family Tax Benefit counted.

6
00:00:27.723 --> 00:00:34.831
Her boss offers a $2,000 raise.

7
00:00:34.831 --> 00:00:37.488
Now she is on $82,000.

8
00:00:37.488 --> 00:00:41.042
Pay goes up $2,000.

9
00:00:41.042 --> 00:00:45.090
Family Tax Benefit Part A falls $400.

10
00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:51.830
The end-of-year supplement stops: $1,942
gone.

11
00:00:51.830 --> 00:00:57.235
A $2,000 raise leaves her $982 worse off.

12
00:00:57.235 --> 00:01:03.447
The supplement stops at a family income
limit. Cross it, and the raise costs more
than it pays.
