What each deduction means

Income Tax

Progressive rates from 0% (below $18,200 tax-free threshold) to 45% above $180,000. The Low Income Tax Offset (LITO) reduces tax by up to $700 for lower earners.

Medicare Levy

2% of taxable income (phased in for lower incomes from ~$26,000). Funds Medicare — Australia's universal public health system.

Estimates use the latest 2025 tax rates. Individual circumstances vary. Not financial advice.

How Australian take-home pay is calculated

Australian residents pay no income tax on the first $18,200 they earn. For 2025/26 the resident rates are 16% to $45,000, 30% to $135,000, 37% to $190,000 and 45% above $190,000. Australia has no separate state income tax, so your marginal rate is the same wherever you live.

On top of income tax, most people pay a 2% Medicare Levy that funds the public health system. A Medicare Levy Surcharge of 1–1.5% also applies if you earn over $93,000 without private hospital cover — taking out an appropriate policy removes it.

Superannuation is paid by your employer on top of your salary at 12% for 2025/26, so it does not reduce your take-home pay. This calculator shows your net pay after income tax and the Medicare Levy, and notes your employer super contribution separately.

Australian salary & tax — frequently asked questions

What is the tax-free threshold?+

Australian residents pay no income tax on the first $18,200 they earn — the tax-free threshold. Above that, the 2025/26 resident rates are 16% to $45,000, 30% to $135,000, 37% to $190,000 and 45% above $190,000. Only the income within each band is taxed at that band’s rate, so your average (effective) rate is always lower than your top marginal rate.

How does the Medicare Levy work?+

Most taxpayers pay a 2% Medicare Levy on their taxable income to fund Australia’s public health system, phased in gradually for lower incomes. A separate Medicare Levy Surcharge of 1–1.5% applies if your income exceeds $93,000 and you don’t hold private hospital cover. Taking out an appropriate private policy removes the surcharge.

Is superannuation deducted from my take-home pay?+

No. Employer superannuation (12% of your ordinary earnings for 2025/26) is paid by your employer on top of your salary, so it does not reduce your take-home pay. It goes straight into your super fund for retirement. This calculator shows your take-home after income tax and the Medicare Levy, with super noted separately.
