Novated lease savings breakdown for a $80K salary for a family. See how your situation affects the numbers.
Family on $80K
For families, a novated lease can provide additional benefits beyond tax savings. Reducing your taxable income may increase your Family Tax Benefit Part A and Part B payments, and could help avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge if you are near the family threshold.
If your family has a single income of $80K, the full tax saving applies to one salary. With dual income, the higher earner should take the novated lease for maximum bracket benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a family affect novated lease savings on $80K?
Families on $80K may see additional benefits through reduced Family Tax Benefit taper and potential Medicare levy surcharge avoidance with reduced taxable income.
What are the best cars to novated lease on $80K?
EVs offer the best value due to FBT exemption. The BYD Dolphin, MG 4, and BYD Atto 3 are top picks for value, while the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are best for those wanting premium features.
Is novated leasing worth it on $80K?
Generally yes. On $80K your marginal tax rate is 30% (plus 2% Medicare), so every dollar of pre-tax lease payment saves you 30% in tax.
Can I novated lease an EV and a petrol car?
You can novated lease any car, but EVs priced under $91,387 are FBT exempt, making them significantly cheaper to lease. A petrol car will have FBT added, reducing the saving.
What happens if I change jobs during a novated lease?
The lease transfers to your new employer. If your new employer does not offer novated leasing, you can continue making payments directly, though you lose the pre-tax benefit until you find an employer who does.
