Formula

Take-Home=GrossIncome TaxMedicare Levy\text{Take-Home} = \text{Gross} - \text{Income Tax} - \text{Medicare Levy}

Your take-home pay is what lands in your bank account after all taxes. Australia uses progressive brackets so only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rate.

Australia FAQs

What reduces my take-home pay?

Income tax (progressive brackets 16-45%), the 2% Medicare levy, and HECS-HELP repayments (1-10% above A$54,435) if applicable. Super is NOT deducted from your pay.

How often are Australians paid?

Most employers pay fortnightly (26 periods per year) or monthly (12 periods). Weekly is common in retail, hospitality, and trades. Your pay frequency does not affect annual tax, only the per-period amount.

What is take-home on A$75,000?

On A$75,000 in 2025-26: income tax ~A$13,288, Medicare levy A$1,500. Annual take-home ~A$60,212 or A$2,316 per fortnight. Your employer also pays A$9,000 super (12%) on top.

Does Medicare levy apply to everyone?

Most residents pay the 2% levy. Low-income earners (under ~A$26,000) get a reduction or exemption. The Medicare levy surcharge (1-1.5% extra) applies to higher earners without private hospital cover.

Is super deducted from my take-home?

No. Super (12%) is paid by your employer on top of your base salary. It does not reduce your take-home pay. It goes directly into your nominated super fund.

What if I have two jobs in Australia?

Claim the tax-free threshold on your primary job only. Your second job should use the "no tax-free threshold" option, resulting in higher PAYG withholding. Any overpayment is refunded when you lodge your tax return.
