How this is calculated
- Uses Australia rules for tax year 2025, for a single employee without dependants.
- Social contributions are 2% of gross salary.
- Australian resident income tax rates for 2024-25 (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025), including the A$18,200 tax-free threshold. The social rate is the 2% Medicare levy. Superannuation (12% from 1 July 2025) is paid by the employer on top of salary and is not deducted. Non-residents and working holiday makers pay different rates, and the Medicare Levy Surcharge may apply without private hospital cover. The 16% rate falls to 15% from 1 July 2026.
- Employer pension or superannuation contributions paid on top of salary are not included.
