Australian take-home pay calculator
See what a salary leaves after tax, compare a pay rise, or unpack a package that includes super. Start with the example, then use your own numbers.
Before you start: Annual planning estimate for an Australian resident adult who is single, has no dependants and is not entitled to the seniors and pensioners tax offset. It is not a payroll withholding or tax-return calculator.

Read before using this result
- For full-year Australian residents aged 18 or over, single with no dependants, and not entitled to SAPTO. Family levy reductions, foreign-resident rates, other offsets and special income are not modelled.
- The Medicare reduction uses the published $28,011 individual threshold. A later change to the selected year's threshold could change low-income results.
- HELP uses taxable income plus the additions entered. Salary-sacrificed or deductible personal super is added back automatically. Annual debt indexation and future voluntary repayments are not projected.
- The July 2027 figure isolates the legislated 15% to 14% bracket change at the same taxable income. It is not a full 2027-28 forecast: offsets, including the Working Australians Tax Offset, HELP and other thresholds can change the final benefit.
- Weekly and monthly amounts divide the annual estimate by 52 and 12. They are not ATO PAYG withholding amounts. Cash shown has not had your deductible expenses or hospital premiums subtracted.
Read the result as an annual budget
The calculator adds the resident income-tax brackets, subtracts the low income tax offset where available, then estimates Medicare, any surcharge and your study-loan repayment. Salary sacrifice reduces cash salary and taxable income, but is added back when checking HELP and surcharge thresholds.
The monthly and weekly table spreads that annual estimate evenly. Your payslip may differ because payroll uses ATO withholding tables, rounding and your tax declaration. Bonuses, part-year work and a year with 27 fortnightly pays can also change the outcome.
A salary package can hide a meaningful difference
A $112,000 package including 12% super contains $100,000 cash salary and $12,000 employer super, before any tax. A $112,000 salary plus super contains $112,000 cash salary. Choose the package setting before comparing two offers.
Use 'Keep this scenario', change the salary or sacrifice amount, and compare the annual cash result. The comparison stays on this page. It disappears when you refresh, and the numbers are never included in analytics events.
What changes in July 2027?
The first taxable bracket is 15% in 2026-27 and falls to 14% from 1 July 2027. At unchanged taxable income of $45,000 or more, that bracket change alone reduces tax before offsets by $268 a year.
The displayed comparison isolates that rate cut. It does not claim to forecast your complete 2027-28 tax bill. The Working Australians Tax Offset and other year-specific settings also need to be considered; future HELP thresholds are not guessed here.
Your next step
- Plan a sole trader's tax reserve
- Budget the employer's wage and super cost
