Australia FAQs
What is take-home on A$85,000?

From July 2024: 19% dropped to 16%, 32.5% dropped to 30%, thresholds raised. Most taxpayers save A$800-A$4,500 per year. The changes benefit all income levels.
Is super deducted from my pay?
No. Super (12%) is paid by your employer on top of your base salary. It goes directly to your super fund and does not reduce your take-home pay.
What is the Medicare Levy Surcharge?
An additional 1-1.5% for higher earners (singles above A$93,000) without private hospital cover. Taking out basic hospital insurance avoids this surcharge and often costs less than the surcharge itself.
How does Australia compare to the UK?
Australia has a higher tax-free threshold (A$18,200 vs GBP 12,570) but no equivalent of the UK personal allowance taper. Both countries have comparable top rates (AU 45% vs UK 45%). Australia adds 2% Medicare levy; UK adds 2-8% National Insurance.
