Australian Pay Calculators

Everything you need to understand your pay, tax, and super — in one place.

How Australian Income Tax Works

Australia uses a progressive tax system, which means you pay different rates of tax on different portions of your income. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) sets these rates each financial year (1 July to 30 June).

For the 2024–25 financial year, the Stage 3 tax cuts have been applied. The tax-free threshold remains at $18,200, meaning you pay no tax on the first $18,200 you earn. After that, rates start at 16% and go up to 45% for income over $190,000.

What is the Medicare Levy?

Most Australian taxpayers pay a 2% Medicare Levy on top of their income tax. This funds Australia's public healthcare system. If you earn below the low-income threshold ($26,000 for singles in 2024–25), you may pay a reduced levy or none at all.

HECS-HELP Repayments

If you have a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt, you repay it through the tax system once your income exceeds the minimum repayment threshold ($54,435 in 2024–25). Repayment rates range from 1% to 10% of your total income, increasing as your income rises.

Superannuation Guarantee

Your employer must contribute 11.5% (2024–25) of your ordinary time earnings to your super fund. This rate increases to 12% from 1 July 2025. Our super calculator helps you check whether your employer is meeting their obligations.
