Questions about salary calculator australia
Which income year does it use?
The 2026 to 2027 income year, from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with the resident rates that apply from 1 July 2026.
Is super included?
No. Enter your salary before employer super. Super is paid on top of your salary and is not taken from your take-home pay, unless you salary-sacrifice some of it, which you can enter under More options.
What does it leave out?
It assumes an Australian resident claiming the tax-free threshold, with no other income. HELP and other study loan repayments, the Medicare levy surcharge, non-resident rates and other offsets are not included.
How does working backwards work?
Tick "Work backwards from my take-home pay", enter the amount you want to receive in any pay period, and it finds the gross pay that leaves that amount after tax and deductions.
Is my information sent anywhere?
No. Everything is worked out on your device.
What comes off an Australian salary
For an Australian resident in 2026 to 2027 the first $18,200 is tax-free, then income is taxed at 15 percent up to $45,000, 30 percent up to $135,000, 37 percent up to $190,000 and 45 percent above that. The Medicare levy adds 2 percent of taxable income, with a reduced amount for low incomes, and the low income tax offset takes up to $700 off the tax of lower earners.
Employer super is paid on top of your salary, at 12 percent of ordinary earnings, and is not taken from your take-home pay. If you salary-sacrifice some of your pay into super, enter it under More options to see the effect.
