Frequently asked questions

What are the Australian tax brackets for 2026-27?
Residents: 0% up to $18,200; 15% on $18,201–$45,000 (cut from 16% on 1 July 2026); 30% on $45,001–$135,000; 37% on $135,001–$190,000; 45% above $190,000 — plus the 2% Medicare levy for most taxpayers.
What is the Medicare levy?
A 2% levy on taxable income that part-funds Medicare. Low-income earners are exempt below a threshold (around $28,000 for singles) with a phase-in above it. High earners without private hospital cover may also pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge (1–1.5%), which this calculator does not include.
What is the Low Income Tax Offset (LITO)?
LITO reduces tax by up to $700 for taxable incomes to $37,500, tapering to zero at $66,667. Combined with the tax-free threshold, it means you effectively pay no income tax until roughly $22,500 of income.
How do HECS-HELP repayments affect take-home pay?
Since 1 July 2025 repayments are marginal, like tax brackets: nothing below the threshold ($69,528 in 2026-27), then 15c per dollar above it up to $129,717 and 17c beyond. Your employer withholds extra tax during the year to cover it.
