Assumptions
An estimate using 2024-25 resident tax rates and a 2% Medicare levy. Superannuation is shown separately because employers pay it on top of your salary — it is not deducted from take-home. Excludes the Medicare levy surcharge, HELP/HECS repayments, offsets, and salary packaging. Check your payslip for exact figures.
How Australian pay is taxed
Australia taxes income federally — there is no state income tax. Your take-home pay is your gross salary minus income tax (on a progressive scale) and the 2% Medicare levy. Superannuation is different: your employer pays the 11.5% super guarantee into your fund on top of your salary, so it does not come out of your take-home pay. This calculator handles all three so you can see exactly what you keep.
Salary or hourly
Use Salary mode for an annual figure, or Hourly mode to enter your wage, weekly hours, and paid weeks and see your take-home per hour after tax. Either way you get your pay per year, month, fortnight, and week — the pay cycles most Australian employers use.
Limitations & disclaimer
An estimate using 2024-25 resident tax rates and a flat 2% Medicare levy. It excludes the Medicare levy surcharge, HECS/HELP repayments, tax offsets, and salary packaging. Check your payslip or the ATO for exact figures.
FAQs
How do I calculate my take-home pay in Australia?
Enter your salary or hourly wage. The calculator applies the 2024-25 resident income tax rates and the 2% Medicare levy to show your take-home pay per year, month, fortnight, and week. Superannuation is shown separately because your employer pays it on top of your salary.
Is superannuation deducted from my pay?
No. The superannuation guarantee (11.5% in 2024-25) is paid by your employer into your super fund on top of your salary, so it does not reduce your take-home pay. The calculator shows the super amount for reference.
What is the Medicare levy?
The Medicare levy is 2% of your taxable income (above a low-income threshold) that helps fund Australia’s public health system. It is charged on top of income tax.
Does this include HECS/HELP repayments?
No. If you have a HECS/HELP study loan, compulsory repayments are deducted based on your income and would reduce your take-home pay further. This estimate covers income tax and the Medicare levy only.
