In Australia, a car salesperson typically earns a base retainer of about AUD 45k–60k plus commissions and bonuses.
On‑target earnings for most land around AUD 60k–90k, while strong performers at busy or prestige dealerships can clear AUD 100k–150k+ in a good year.
Commission setups vary, but expect a mix of per‑unit, finance/insurance add‑ons, and stretch bonuses; metro prestige pays fatter per sale, regional volume makes it up in numbers.
There’s usually superannuation on top, occasional demo/car allowances, and plenty of weekends—because nothing says “test drive” like a Saturday.
Market cycles and brand reputation can swing incomes wildly, so one month’s a quiet cuppa and the next is Christmas with balloons.
