How to Calculate Take-Home Pay
Your take-home pay (net pay) is what remains after deducting income tax, Medicare levy, HELP/HECS repayments and Medicare Levy Surcharge from your gross salary. Superannuation is paid by your employer on top of your salary.
What Affects Your Take-Home Pay?
- Income tax: Progressive ATO tax brackets from 0% to 45%
- Medicare levy: 2% of taxable income
- HELP/HECS: Repayments based on your repayment income
- MLS: Additional levy for high earners without private health cover
