How this calculator helps

Our after tax pay calculator helps you estimate what you may actually receive after income tax, Medicare levy and optional HELP repayments. Enter your annual salary or another pay frequency and the tool converts it to an annual figure before applying the relevant tax settings.

This calculator is useful when you are comparing job offers, checking whether a salary increase is worthwhile, working out the impact of a higher hourly rate, or planning for a move from part-time to full-time work. You can also include employer super or extra deductions to see how your package changes.

This site uses current ATO-published resident and foreign tax rates, Medicare levy thresholds and current HELP rules used on this site. Results can still differ where your position involves family thresholds, offsets, reportable fringe benefits, salary packaging, private health insurance details, multiple employers or other adjustments.
