- Full-year Australian resident with the full tax-free threshold. Annual liability estimate divided into equal periods; this is not the PAYG withholding schedule.
- Default Medicare assumes single, no dependants and no seniors offset. Medicare levy surcharge and HELP repayments are excluded unless the surcharge is included in your entered levy total.
- 2026–27 Medicare uses legislation in force on 14 November 2026, subject to later retrospective amendments. Other offsets, benefits, salary sacrifice and super fund taxes are outside scope.
- The 2025–26 super cap assumes equal earnings in each quarter; 2026–27 uses the annual cap.
This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works
The cash salary in a package is the amount left after employer super. Below the applicable cap, salary = package ÷ 1.12. Above the cap, subtract the capped employer contribution instead. For steady pay, the 2025–26 quarterly earnings cap of $62,500 gives an annual equivalent of $250,000. The 2026–27 annual earnings cap is $270,830. A contractual uncapped option is also available.
net cash = salary − max(0, bracket tax − LITO) − Medicare levy
The ATO resident schedules use a $18,200 tax-free threshold. The next bracket, up to $45,000, falls from 16% to 15% in 2026–27; the higher rates stay at 30%, 37% and 45%. LITO is non-refundable. From 2026–27, Schedule 4 of Act No. 49 adds a standard deduction: max(0, min($1,000, salary) − overlapping work expense claims). Salary here is eligible labour income. Enter overlapping expenses separately from additional deductions; the latter include eligible insurance premiums and professional association membership under section 25-130(3). Actual expenses plus the remaining standard amount are deducted once. No standard amount applies in 2025–26. Allowable deductions reduce taxable income but are not themselves subtracted from cash pay here.
For a single person without SAPTO, Medicare is zero up to $28,011, phases in at 10% of the excess through $35,013, and is then 2% of taxable income. Schedule 5 of the 2026 amendment applies these limits to 2025–26 and later years. The 2026–27 estimate uses law checked on 14 November 2026; later amendments may apply retrospectively. Use an entered levy total for a different household situation.
Rounding: retain full precision through the calculation and round displayed amounts to cents. Per-period numbers divide annual estimates; actual PAYG withholding uses separate payroll schedules.
Worked examples
$112,000 package including super
With 12% employer super, cash salary is $100,000 and employer super is $12,000. With no entered deductions and the standard single Medicare treatment, annual net cash is $77,212 in 2025–26 and $77,800 in 2026–27. The 2026–27 standard deduction reduces taxable income to $99,000, giving tax of $20,220 and Medicare of $1,980. The difference is $588; 2026–27 fortnightly equivalent pay is $2,992.31.
ATO Medicare example: $29,000 taxable income
Angie’s official single-person example gives Medicare of $98.90: ($29,000 − $28,011) × 10%. With $29,000 salary, no entered deductions and $700 LITO, this calculator gives net cash of $27,873.10 in 2025–26 or $28,230 in 2026–27. In 2026–27, the standard deduction reduces taxable income to $28,000, tax after LITO is $770 and Medicare is zero.
