Taxes Included in This Australian Salary Calculator

• Income Tax: Australia uses a progressive income tax system, meaning higher income is taxed at higher marginal rates. Resident tax rates are spread across five brackets, from 0% on income up to $18,200 to 45% on income above $190,000. Our calculator assumes you are an Australian tax resident and applies the resident tax scale.
• Medicare Levy: A 2% levy is usually added to taxable income to help fund Medicare, Australia's public health system. The levy is calculated separately from income tax, although reductions and exemptions may apply for lower-income earners and certain personal circumstances.
• Income Tax Offsets: Tax offsets reduce the final amount of tax payable after income tax has been calculated. Our tax calculator includes the low income tax offset (LITO), where applicable. LITO is worth up to $700 and gradually reduces once taxable income exceeds $37,500, reaching $0 at $66,667.
