Frequently asked questions

Who is this Australia take-home pay calculator for?

Australian residents — employees, graduates with HELP debt, and newcomers — who want a clear gross-to-net figure for budgeting or comparing offers.

Who should not rely on this calculator alone?

Non-residents, working-holiday makers, people with salary packaging, investment or rental income, or anyone near the Medicare Levy Surcharge or Division 293 thresholds. Those need the ATO's own calculators or a tax agent.

What are the ATO 2026–27 tax brackets?

For residents: 0% to $18,200, 15% to $45,000, 30% to $135,000, 37% to $190,000 and 45% above. Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.

What is the Medicare levy?

A 2% levy on taxable income that funds the public health system. Low-income earners pay a reduced levy below $35,013 and nothing below $28,011. The Medicare Levy Surcharge (1–1.5%) for higher earners without hospital cover is not included here.

How does HELP repayment work in 2026–27?

Compulsory repayment starts above $69,528 of repayment income: 15c per $1 to $129,717, then $9,028 plus 17c per $1 to $186,050, then 10% of total repayment income above that.

Is superannuation deducted from my take-home pay?

No — the 12% Super Guarantee is paid by your employer on top of your salary, unless your contract is written as a total package that includes super. The tool shows it separately so you can see the full package.

Why does my payslip differ from this estimate?

Withholding is spread across pay periods and your final assessment includes deductions, offsets, the surcharge and any other income. This tool is a simplified annual estimate, not your tax return.
