How it works
The calculator starts with your annual salary or hourly rate, then estimates taxable income, resident income tax, Medicare levy, employer super, and take-home pay. You can switch between yearly, monthly, fortnightly, weekly, and daily views without re-entering your pay.
Results are designed for practical salary planning. They help you compare a new job offer, test whether a raise changes your monthly cash flow, and see how much room you may have for rent, essentials, savings, and flexible spending.
These rates apply to Australian residents with the tax-free threshold and do not include the Medicare levy, offsets, HELP repayments, or special circumstances.
| Taxable income | Income tax |
|---|---|
| $0 to $18,200 | No income tax |
| $18,201 to $45,000 | 16c for each $1 over $18,200 |
| $45,001 to $135,000 | $4,288 plus 30c for each $1 over $45,000 |
| $135,001 to $190,000 | $31,288 plus 37c for each $1 over $135,000 |
| $190,001 and over | $51,638 plus 45c for each $1 over $190,000 |

These examples use 2025-26 resident tax settings, 12% employer super on top, and no salary sacrifice. The 12% default follows the ATO super guarantee rate.
| Salary | Weekly | Monthly | Super |
|---|---|---|---|
| $60,000 | $962 | $4,168 | $7,200 |
| $80,000 | $1,222 | $5,298 | $9,600 |
| $100,000 | $1,484 | $6,431 | $12,000 |
| $120,000 | $1,746 | $7,565 | $14,400 |
| $150,000 | $2,118 | $9,176 | $18,000 |
A good salary depends on city, rent, household size, debt, and savings goals. The calculator shows take-home pay first, then estimates rent comfort, essentials, savings, and discretionary spending so the number is easier to judge.
You can choose whether the amount entered is salary plus super on top or a total package that already includes super. For 2025-26, the default super guarantee rate is 12%.
Payroll withholding is usually calculated per pay cycle. The annual summary, weekly view, fortnightly view, and monthly view can look slightly different because each period is rounded and withheld differently.
Use the take-home pay calculator when you want the clearest view of after-tax salary, super, and pay-cycle breakdowns.
Use the salary comparison tool when you need to compare two jobs, pay packages, or hourly options side by side.
Use the what-if salary simulator when you want to test a raise, different weekly hours, or a new work pattern.
Once you know your take-home pay, use the salary comparison to weigh a new role against your current package, or head to the what-if salary simulator to test a raise or a different weekly-hours setup.
