Estimate only. Results update as you type.
How this calculator works
Tax is worked out bracket by bracket using the 2025–26 resident rates (0% to $18,200, 16% to $45,000, 30% to $135,000, 37% to $190,000 and 45% above). The low income tax offset is subtracted, then the 2% Medicare levy is added.
Worth knowing
Your employer withholds tax through the year, so compare this estimate with the PAYG withheld on your income statement to see whether a refund or a bill is likely.

Questions
- Are these results exact?
- They are estimates based on standard resident rates. Your actual tax depends on your full circumstances, offsets and any private health insurance position. The ATO’s own tools or a registered tax agent give a definitive answer.
- Do the calculators work for non-residents?
- No. Non-residents have different rates, no tax-free threshold and no Medicare levy. These calculators assume you are an Australian resident for tax purposes.
- When do tax rates change?
- Rates usually change on 1 July, the start of the Australian financial year. Check the ATO website each July for the current figures.
This calculator gives general estimates using published Australian rates and formulas. It doesn’t consider your personal circumstances. Check current figures with the ATO, your state government or a qualified professional before making decisions. See our disclaimer.
