Enter your gross annual income and we calculate your income tax using the official ATO marginal rates. We then apply the Low Income Tax Offset (LITO) for eligible residents, add the 2% Medicare levy, check for Medicare Levy Surcharge if you don't have private health insurance, and include any HELP/HECS-HELP compulsory repayment. The result is your estimated take-home pay after all deductions.
For FY 2025-26, Australian residents pay: 0% on $0-$18,200, 16% on $18,201-$45,000, 30% on $45,001-$135,000, 37% on $135,001-$190,000, and 45% on income over $190,000. These rates reflect the Stage 3 tax cuts effective 1 July 2024.
The tax-free threshold for Australian residents is $18,200. With the Low Income Tax Offset (LITO), the effective tax-free threshold is approximately $22,575. Foreign residents and working holiday makers do not receive the tax-free threshold.
The Medicare levy is 2% of your taxable income. It funds Australia's public health system. Low-income earners may be eligible for a reduction or exemption. The Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) of 1-1.5% applies if you earn over $101,000 (2025-26) and don't have private hospital cover.
The Low Income Tax Offset (LITO) is a tax offset of up to $700 for individuals earning $37,500 or less. It phases out between $37,501 and $66,667. LITO reduces the amount of tax you pay but cannot create a refund.
HECS-HELP repayments are based on your repayment income, which includes taxable income plus any reportable fringe benefits, net investment losses, and exempt foreign employment income. The repayment rate ranges from 1% to 10% depending on your income level.
From 1 July 2024, the 19% rate was reduced to 16%, the 32.5% rate was reduced to 30%, and the $120,000 threshold was raised to $135,000. Every Australian earning over $18,200 received a tax cut, with the maximum benefit of $4,529 for incomes of $190,000 and above.
