Income adjuster tool

This calculator allows veterinary professionals to calculate the inflation-adjusted value of their earnings, helping to determine if real income has increased over the course of a career. It is specifically designed to compare current income against historical values. 

​

Furthermore, on 27th August 2025, The Employment Relations (Employee Remuneration Disclosure) Amendment Act 2025 passed into law, bringing legal protection for employees who:

 

• discuss or disclose their pay

• ask about another employee’s pay

• participate in a discussion with another employee about that employee’s pay

• are asked about their pay by another employee.

​​

It is now unlawful for employers to take adverse action — such as dismissal, demotion, or disadvantage — for employees that participate the above mentioned action.

It doesn’t ban pay confidentiality clauses in employment agreements, but it does effectively make them unenforceable.

​

We hope that through the use of this tool, and knowledge of the law regarding pay discussions, Vets are better positioned to negotiate fair pay with their employers.
