2026/27 Australian estimate
Australian take-home pay calculator
Estimate Australian take-home pay after income tax, Medicare levy, optional HELP repayments and salary sacrifice. Employer super is shown separately.
Adjust your estimate
The A$55,000 starting figure is an editable general example. The default is an Australian resident who pays the standard Medicare levy and has no HELP debt or salary sacrifice. Claiming the tax-free threshold affects payroll withholding rather than final annual tax, so it is handled in the payslip calculator.

Important: this is an annual planning estimate, not a tax return or exact payslip. It does not include offsets, deductions, investment income, family circumstances, Medicare Levy Surcharge, working-holiday-maker rates or employer-specific payroll treatment.
What the optional settings improve
Tax residency changes the tax bands and whether Medicare levy is estimated. HELP uses the 2026/27 marginal repayment method, but actual repayment income can include reportable fringe benefits, reportable super contributions and other amounts beyond salary. Salary sacrifice reduces the taxable salary shown, while the sacrificed amount is not cash take-home pay.
Based on Australian resident tax-rate legislation, the 2026/27 HELP repayment rules, and the ATO super guarantee rate.
