482 SID Visa Salary Threshold Calculator (Australia)

The 482 Skills in Demand (SID) visa requires sponsored workers to be paid at least the relevant income threshold and the Annual Market Salary Rate (AMSR).

This free calculator instantly checks your offered salary against the official 482 SID visa thresholds and your market rate, helping you quickly assess whether your remuneration is likely to satisfy nomination requirements. Simply choose your stream, enter your salary, and compare it to the required minimum in seconds.

Checks your offered salary against the income threshold (CSIT/SSIT) and your entered Annual Market Salary Rate (AMSR). Threshold values shown are those listed by Home Affairs as indexed from 1 July 2025.

FAQ

Does superannuation count toward the threshold?
Threshold checks are typically against annual earnings/salary amounts as defined by Home Affairs instruments and policy. In practice, many employers compare against base salary (excluding super). If in doubt, confirm with your sponsor or migration professional.

What if my offered salary meets CSIT/SSIT but is below AMSR?
You can still fail the requirement if the role is paid below the market rate for an equivalent Australian worker. That’s why this calculator uses the higher of threshold and AMSR.
