How Australian Income Tax Works

Australia uses a progressive tax system, meaning higher portions of your income are taxed at higher rates. This calculator uses the 2025-26 tax brackets which continue the Stage 3 tax cuts.

Understanding Your Results

Gross Pay is your total salary before any deductions. Income Tax is calculated based on the tax brackets above. Medicare Levy is a 2% levy that helps fund Australia's public health system. Superannuation is your employer's contribution to your retirement fund (12% in 2025-26). Net Pay is your take-home amount after tax and Medicare.
