How much tax at common incomes (FY2026-27)
From 1 July 2026 the second tax bracket dropped from 16% to 15%. Everyone earning $45,000 or more saves an extra $268 a year compared with FY2025-26 — see the last column below. Totals include the Low Income Tax Offset and the single-person Medicare levy reduction where they apply (resident rates, no surcharge). The rows are TAXABLE incomes, so the automatic $1,000 standard deduction isn't applied here — a salary earner's taxable income is up to $1,000 below their salary from FY2026-27; the calculator above does that conversion for you.
| Taxable income | Base tax | LITO | Medicare levy | Total tax | Take-home pay | Effective rate | FY2025-26 → FY2026-27 saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $45,000 | $4,020 | −$325 | $900 | $4,595 | $40,405 | 10.2% | $268 |
| $60,000 | $8,520 | −$100 | $1,200 | $9,620 | $50,380 | 16% | $268 |

How this is calculated
For Australian residents, taxable income is your salary less salary-sacrificed super, plus any extra income, less your deductions (with the automatic standard deduction floor from FY2026-27 — see below). Total tax is then base tax on that taxable income, minus the Low Income Tax Offset, plus the Medicare levy (and the Medicare levy surcharge if you tick it). Base tax uses the resident income tax brackets below: each bracket only taxes the slice of income that falls inside it — the first $18,200 is tax-free, the next slice is taxed at that bracket's rate, and so on up the table.
Deductions and the $1,000 standard deduction
From the 2026-27 income year, ITAA 1997 s 25-130 (inserted by the Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Act 2026, assented 26 June 2026) gives resident individuals with salary/wage income a standard deduction of the lesser of $1,000 and their labour income, reduced by any work-related deductions actually claimed — never below zero. In practice your work-related deductions are floored at $1,000, which is exactly how this page applies it: it uses the larger of your entered deductions and the standard amount. The statute's carve-outs (union and professional-association fees and income-protection-type premiums remain claimable ON TOP of the $1,000) aren't modelled — if part of your entered figure is those, the page understates your deduction slightly, never overstates it. Foreign residents and working holiday makers aren't eligible, and the deduction never applies to FY2025-26.
Seniors and pensioners (SAPTO)
For an eligible senior (Age Pension age and eligible for a listed government pension or allowance), the offset is the maximum for your status — $2,230 single, $1,602 each for a couple, $2,040 each if illness-separated — reduced by 12.5c per $1 of rebate income above your shading-out threshold and rounded up to the whole dollar, exactly as the ATO's own worked examples do. Couples pass the income-limit test on HALF their combined rebate income, but each partner's offset is worked out on their own income. SAPTO is non-refundable (with LITO it can only zero base tax), and anyone entitled to at least $1 of it gets the seniors Medicare levy threshold ($44,268, phasing in at 10c per $1) instead of the ordinary $28,011. Rebate income here is taxable income plus any salary sacrifice you enter — the full definition also adds fringe benefits and net investment losses, which this page can't see.
Salary sacrifice, deductions and the income definitions
Salary-sacrificed super leaves your assessable income entirely (it becomes an employer contribution, taxed 15% inside the fund). But the ATO's HELP/HECS repayment income and Medicare-levy-surcharge income definitions both ADD reportable super contributions back — so this page computes those two on taxable income PLUS your sacrifice, which is why a sacrifice doesn't shrink your HECS repayment the way it shrinks income tax. The page also warns you when SG plus sacrifice exceeds the concessional contributions cap ($32,500 in FY2026-27) — the excess would really be taxed at your marginal rate, which isn't modelled here.
| Taxable income | Tax rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $18,200 | 0% |
| $18,200 – $45,000 | 15% |
| $45,000 – $135,000 | 30% |
| $135,000 – $190,000 | 37% |
| $190,000 and over | 45% |
For the full bracket tables — FY2026-27 and FY2025-26 side by side, plus the foreign resident and working holiday maker scales — see the Australian tax brackets reference page.
Wages, pay periods and super
A wage quoted per month, fortnight, week, day or hour is annualised first using plain calendar conventions — 12 months, 26 fortnights or 52 weeks a year, 5 paid days a week, and your own hours-per-week figure for hourly pay (38 is the national standard full-time week). The per-period amounts in the results use the same divisors, and some years contain 27 fortnightly or 53 weekly pays.
What your payslip actually withholds (PAYG)
Your annual tax bill and what your employer takes out each pay are two different calculations. When you view results per week, fortnight or month, the "On your payslip" block computes real PAYG withholding using the ATO's FY2026-27 Schedule 1 statement of formulas — the exact coefficient tables payroll software implements (y = ax − b on whole-dollar weekly-equivalent earnings plus 99 cents, rounded to the nearest dollar, 50c up) — plus the Schedule 8 study-loan component when you tick HELP/HECS. This engine is verified against every row of the ATO's own published sample data. The difference between a full year of withholding and your annual assessment is the refund-or-shortfall estimate shown with it: withholding deliberately ignores deductions, offsets and the standard deduction, which is precisely why most wage earners get a refund after lodging. A second job (no tax-free threshold claimed) uses the higher scale 1; foreign residents use scale 3; a full Medicare exemption uses scale 5. To start from a payslip figure instead of an annual salary — or for the half-exemption and quarterly options — use the dedicated tax withheld calculator.
Employer super guarantee is 12% of ordinary time earnings in FY2026-27 and is shown as its own line because it's paid into your fund on top of your wage — it's not tax and not take-home pay. If you tick "amount includes super", the base salary is recovered as package ÷ 1.12 first, and tax applies to the base.
Non-resident and working holiday maker rates
Foreign residents have no tax-free threshold, pay no Medicare levy (they're exempt from it, and with it the surcharge) and don't receive LITO. Working holiday makers on 417/462 visas get their own scale with a 15% first band; this page assumes a working holiday maker is a foreign resident for tax (the common case). Both scales below are the ATO's published FY2026-27 figures — the 1 July 2026 cut changed only the resident 16% rate, so these scales are unchanged from FY2025-26.
| Taxable income (foreign resident) | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $135,000 | 30% |
| $135,000 – $190,000 | 37% |
| $190,000 and over | 45% |
| Taxable income (working holiday maker) | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $45,000 | 15% |
| $45,000 – $135,000 | 30% |
| $135,000 – $190,000 | 37% |
| $190,000 and over | 45% |
Medicare levy, low-income reduction and the surcharge
The Medicare levy is 2% of taxable income, with the single-person low-income reduction: no levy at or below $28,011, then capped at 10c per $1 of the excess until the flat rate catches up (at $35,013). Medicare thresholds are re-legislated retrospectively most years; this is the enacted figure, lifted from $27,222 by the Treasury Laws Amendment (Delivering an Efficient and Trusted Tax System) Act 2026 (No. 58, 2026), Schedule 5.
The Medicare levy surcharge applies only if you don't hold an appropriate level of private patient hospital cover, and the tier rate applies to your whole income for MLS purposes. FY2026-27 single thresholds: no surcharge to $105,000; 1% from $105,001 to $123,000, 1.3% from $123,001 to $164,000, 1.5% from $164,001 up. Family (combined-income) thresholds are exactly double.
The Low Income Tax Offset (ITAA 1997 Subdiv 61-D, unchanged since 2020-21) is $700 up to $37,500 taxable income, tapering by 5c per $1 up to $45,000 (leaving $325), then by 1.5c per $1 until it reaches nil at $66,667. It's non-refundable — it can cut base tax to zero but never below, and it doesn't reduce the Medicare levy. The tapers also mean each extra dollar in the taper bands effectively carries the bracket rate PLUS the taper rate; the marginal rate shown is the bracket rate.
From 1 July 2026 the second bracket's rate dropped from 16% to 15%, under the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Cost of Living Relief) Act 2025 — the second of two legislated cuts (16% → 15% → 14% from FY2027-28). That's the only bracket change between FY2025-26 and FY2026-27; the thresholds themselves are unchanged.
One quirk of "marginal rate": at an exact bracket boundary (for example exactly $45,000) the marginal rate is the rate that applies to that dollar itself — the lower bracket's rate. Earn one dollar more and the next dollar is taxed at the next bracket's rate instead.

Assumptions used here follow the same general approach as ASIC's MoneySmart calculators and may not reflect every personal circumstance — see "What this doesn't model" for specifics.
What this doesn't model
- FAMILY Medicare levy thresholds (the single-person and SAPTO-single thresholds are modelled), the HALF Medicare levy exemption, and exemption categories beyond a simple full exemption.
- The full income definition for the Medicare levy surcharge: this page adds your salary-sacrificed super back (as the ATO does), but reportable fringe benefits and net investment losses aren't collected, so your real MLS income can still be higher. The family threshold's $1,500-per-child uplift (after the first child) and part-year hospital cover proration aren't modelled either.
- Tax offsets other than LITO and SAPTO — e.g. the private health insurance rebate or zone offsets. Within SAPTO: the transfer of a spouse's unused offset isn't modelled, rebate income is proxied by taxable income + your entered salary sacrifice, and pension-age/pension eligibility is taken from your selection, not verified.
- Standard-deduction carve-outs: union/professional-association fees and income-protection-type insurance premiums are claimable on top of the full $1,000 (s 25-130(3)) — entered deductions are all treated as reducing the standard amount, which can only understate your deduction. The $1,000 cap also assumes the pay you enter is employee-type labour income — business and investment income don't qualify.
- The full HELP/HECS repayment-income definition when the checkbox is on: salary-sacrificed super is added back (as the ATO does), but reportable fringe benefits, net investment losses and exempt foreign employment income aren't — if any apply, your real repayment is higher than shown (see the HECS repayment calculator for the detail).
- Payslip-withholding edges: the "On your payslip" block uses the ATO's FY2026-27 Schedule 1/Schedule 8 formulas (the same coefficients payroll software uses), but it assumes even pay across the year and doesn't model withholding-time tax offsets from a Withholding declaration, the family Medicare levy adjustment, bonus/leave-loading withholding (Schedule 5), the no-TFN 47% scale, working-holiday-maker employer tables, 27-fortnight/53-week years, or FY2025-26 coefficients. The withholding scales also bake in the ANNOUNCED Medicare threshold uplift the way the ATO publishes them, while the annual figures above follow the enacted law — a small, deliberate difference. Deductions change your refund at tax time, not your payslip.
- Super guarantee edge cases: the 12% is applied to your whole gross as if it were all ordinary time earnings, and the maximum super contribution base ($270,830 a year from 1 July 2026, above which SG stops accruing) isn't applied. Excess concessional contributions above the cap are flagged with a warning but their marginal-rate tax treatment isn't computed — the salary sacrifice calculator covers the full net-benefit arithmetic including Division 293.
- Part-year residency (arriving in or leaving Australia mid-year, with a pro-rated tax-free threshold), and working holiday makers who are Australian residents with Medicare entitlement (they can owe the levy this page skips for the WHM scale).
If any of these apply to you, your actual tax and take-home pay will differ from the figures above.
Frequently asked questions
How much tax will I pay on $85,000 in 2026-27?
On a salary of $85,000 in FY2026-27, the automatic $1,000 standard deduction makes your taxable income $84,000. Base tax on that is $15,720 and the Medicare levy is $1,680, for total tax of $17,400 and take-home pay of $67,600 — about $2,600 a fortnight. That's a marginal rate of 30% on the highest bracket reached, and an effective (average) rate of 20.5% across the whole salary. On top of that your employer pays $10,200 super guarantee (12%) into your fund. The Low Income Tax Offset doesn't apply at this income (it runs out at $66,667).
What changed on 1 July 2026?
Two things, and the calculator shows your combined saving as its own result line. First, the second-lowest tax bracket dropped from 16% to 15% under the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Cost of Living Relief) Act 2025 — the second of two legislated cuts (a further cut to 14% is due from FY2027-28); that alone saves anyone earning $45,000+ exactly $268 a year versus FY2025-26. Second, the $1,000 standard deduction for work-related expenses (Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Act 2026) first applies to the 2026-27 year — every resident employee's taxable income drops by up to $1,000 without receipts. Both apply to residents only; foreign resident and working holiday maker rates are unchanged.
What is the $1,000 standard (instant) tax deduction?
A new automatic deduction for work-related expenses — ITAA 1997 s 25-130, legislated on 26 June 2026 and first applying to the FY2026-27 year (returns lodged from July 2027). If you earn salary or wages, you deduct the LESSER of $1,000 and your labour income, no receipts needed; if your actual work-related claims exceed $1,000 you claim those instead, exactly as before. This calculator applies it automatically for residents from FY2026-27 — enter your own deductions and it uses whichever is larger. Two footnotes from the legislation: union/professional-association fees and income-protection insurance premiums don't count against the $1,000 (they're claimable on top, which this page doesn't model), and business or investment income doesn't qualify — it's for employee-type income only.
Does this calculator include superannuation and salary sacrifice?
Yes — employer super as its own line, the way a payslip shows it, plus an optional salary-sacrifice field. The employer super guarantee is 12% of ordinary time earnings in FY2026-27 and is paid into your super fund ON TOP of your salary, so it's never part of take-home pay. If your contract quotes a package that includes super (say "$112,000 including super"), tick "amount includes super" and the calculator backs the base salary out (package ÷ 1.12) before working out tax. Salary-sacrificed super entered under "More options" leaves your taxable income (saving tax at your marginal rate) but is correctly added back when working out HELP/HECS repayments and the Medicare levy surcharge, and the page warns you when SG plus sacrifice breaches the $32,500 concessional cap — see the salary sacrifice calculator for the full net-benefit arithmetic.
What is the Medicare levy surcharge (MLS)?
An extra levy on top of the 2% Medicare levy if you don't hold an appropriate level of private patient hospital cover: in FY2026-27 it starts for singles above $105,000 (families above $210,000 combined) at 1%, stepping to 1.25% and 1.5% at higher tiers. The rate applies to your WHOLE income, not just the excess, so crossing a tier boundary by one dollar adds the full percentage. Tick "no private hospital cover" to include it. Honesty notes: MLS income is wider than taxable income — this page adds your salary-sacrificed super back (as the ATO does) but can't see reportable fringe benefits or investment losses; and the family threshold rises $1,500 for each dependent child after the first, which isn't modelled.
Does this calculator handle seniors and pensioners (SAPTO)?
Yes. If you're Age Pension age and eligible for an Australian Government pension or allowance, pick your SAPTO status under "More options": the offset is up to $2,230 for singles ($1,602 each for couples), reducing by 12.5c for every $1 of rebate income above $36,034 (single, FY2026-27) and running out at $53,874. Couples are income-tested on half their combined rebate income, so the page asks for your spouse's income too. Being entitled to at least $1 of SAPTO also lifts your Medicare levy low-income threshold to $44,268 — a single senior on $40,000 pays no Medicare levy at all, and this page applies that automatically. Transferring a spouse's unused SAPTO isn't modelled (the ATO does that at assessment).
What if I'm a non-resident or working holiday maker?
Pick your tax status in the form. Foreign residents pay 30c from the very first dollar (there's no tax-free threshold) up to $135,000, then 37% to $190,000 and 45% above — but pay no Medicare levy (they're exempt) and get no LITO or standard deduction (s 25-130 requires Australian residency). Working holiday makers (subclass 417/462 visas) pay 15% up to $45,000, then the same 30/37/45 ladder. Both scales are taken from the ATO's published tables and are unchanged by the 1 July 2026 resident changes. Part-year residency (arriving or leaving Australia mid-year) isn't modelled.
Why is the tax on my payslip different from my annual tax?
Because your employer doesn't compute your annual tax — they follow the ATO's PAYG withholding schedules, which spread an estimate across the year and deliberately ignore deductions and most offsets. Switch "Show amounts per" to week, fortnight or month and this page shows BOTH: the even split of your annual position, and the actual payslip withholding from the ATO's FY2026-27 Schedule 1 formulas (plus the Schedule 8 study-loan component if you tick HELP/HECS) — the same coefficients payroll software uses, verified against the ATO's published sample data. The gap between a year of withholding and your annual bill is the refund estimate shown there; with the automatic $1,000 standard deduction now lowering annual tax but not withholding, most employees should see a slightly bigger refund from FY2026-27.
Is this the same as what the ATO calculator shows?
It should be very close. This calculator applies the resident brackets (or the foreign-resident/working-holiday scales), the s 25-130 standard deduction, the Low Income Tax Offset, SAPTO, the single-person and seniors Medicare levy reductions, the Medicare levy surcharge tiers and the compulsory HELP/HECS repayment exactly as legislated, and its payslip block implements the ATO's own withholding formulas. It doesn't apply family Medicare thresholds, withholding-time offset declarations or bonus-withholding rules. Use the ATO's own calculators for a figure that accounts for your full personal circumstances.
How much tax will I pay on $60,000 in 2026-27?
On a $60,000 salary in FY2026-27, the automatic $1,000 standard deduction makes your taxable income $59,000. Base tax of $8,220, less $115 Low Income Tax Offset, plus $1,180 Medicare levy, gives total tax of $9,285 — so take-home pay is $50,715, about $4,226 a month or $1,951 a fortnight. That's a 30% marginal rate and a 15.5% effective (average) rate on the whole salary, and your employer pays $7,200 super guarantee (12%) into your fund on top. Figures assume an Australian resident claiming the tax-free threshold, with no HECS debt and no Medicare levy surcharge — enter your own details in the calculator above for your exact position.
How much tax will I pay on $70,000 in 2026-27?
On a $70,000 salary in FY2026-27, the automatic $1,000 standard deduction makes your taxable income $69,000. Base tax of $11,220, plus $1,380 Medicare levy, gives total tax of $12,600 — so take-home pay is $57,400, about $4,783 a month or $2,208 a fortnight. That's a 30% marginal rate and a 18% effective (average) rate on the whole salary, and your employer pays $8,400 super guarantee (12%) into your fund on top. Figures assume an Australian resident claiming the tax-free threshold, with no HECS debt and no Medicare levy surcharge — enter your own details in the calculator above for your exact position.
How much tax will I pay on $75,000 in 2026-27?
On a $75,000 salary in FY2026-27, the automatic $1,000 standard deduction makes your taxable income $74,000. Base tax of $12,720, plus $1,480 Medicare levy, gives total tax of $14,200 — so take-home pay is $60,800, about $5,067 a month or $2,338 a fortnight. That's a 30% marginal rate and a 18.9% effective (average) rate on the whole salary, and your employer pays $9,000 super guarantee (12%) into your fund on top. Figures assume an Australian resident claiming the tax-free threshold, with no HECS debt and no Medicare levy surcharge — enter your own details in the calculator above for your exact position.
How much tax will I pay on $80,000 in 2026-27?
On a $80,000 salary in FY2026-27, the automatic $1,000 standard deduction makes your taxable income $79,000. Base tax of $14,220, plus $1,580 Medicare levy, gives total tax of $15,800 — so take-home pay is $64,200, about $5,350 a month or $2,469 a fortnight. That's a 30% marginal rate and a 19.8% effective (average) rate on the whole salary, and your employer pays $9,600 super guarantee (12%) into your fund on top.
