How we calculate Australian take-home pay

Included

• Australian income-tax brackets for 2026–27.
• An estimated Low Income Tax Offset for eligible residents.
• Medicare levy for residents when selected.
• A foreign-resident option using standard foreign-resident rates.

Not included

HELP/HECS repayments, Medicare levy surcharge, Working Holiday Maker tax rules, private-health exemptions, most deductions and offsets, family thresholds and employer superannuation are not modelled fully. Employer super is generally separate from take-home pay, but salary packages may be quoted inclusive of super.
