Who Are Considered High Income Earners in Australia?

In Australia, the term “high income earners” typically refers to individuals or households with earnings of a significant amount above the national average, and while there is no strict definition, those who fall into this category often earn more than $100,000 annually.

The professions that usually make up this demographic include doctors, lawyers, executives, and business owners.

However, it isn’t just work-based income that can contribute to someone being classed as a high income earner. Those with substantial investment income or assets that generate significant returns can also be considered high income earners, especially if these bring in more than $100,000 per year.

Common Challenges for High Income Earners

From tax complexities to wealth management strategies, high income earners often encounter hurdles that only expert financial advisers can help to overcome.

Below, you’ll find some of the most common challenges high income earners face and how partnering with a financial adviser can offer invaluable support in dealing with them.

Managing Tax Liabilities

High income earners often find themselves grappling with intricate tax laws and regulations, which can lead to substantial tax burdens. With the assistance of financial advisers, these tax liabilities can be navigated more effectively by implementing strategies such as optimising tax deductions and exploring investment options with favourable tax treatment.

Balancing Current Lifestyle with Future Goals

Another challenge for a high income earner is balancing your desired lifestyle with your long-term financial goals, and many people find it hard to achieve the right equilibrium between enjoying current wealth and preparing for retirement or other future milestones. A financial adviser can provide objective guidance on this and create a financial plan that prioritises both short-term enjoyment and long-term security.

Navigating Complex Investment Options

With so much wealth at your disposal as a high income earner, you may find yourself inundated with various investment options, ranging from stocks and bonds to real estate and alternative assets. Without guidance, choosing the right investment strategy can be daunting and risky, but with the help of a financial adviser, you’ll get access to knowledge and experience that assess risk tolerance and help you create a customised investment portfolio that aligns with your needs and goals.
