Tax BracketsAustralia tax calculator, 2026-27
Resident tax and the 2% Medicare levy on a taxable income. Offsets, HELP and the levy surcharge are not included.
How it works
Income tax is worked out on the ATO resident brackets: nil on the first $18,200, then 15c (16c in 2025-26) for each dollar to $45,000, 30c to $135,000, 37c to $190,000 and 45c above. The Medicare levy is 2% of taxable income. The result is the tax and levy for a resident for the full year with the full tax-free threshold. It does not subtract offsets (for example the low income tax offset), HELP repayments or the Medicare levy reduction, and it does not add the Medicare levy surcharge, so a low income may really pay less and a high income without private hospital cover may pay more. Super is paid by the employer on top of the salary and is not part of this result.
The rate tables have the brackets.
