Medicare levy
Most residents pay a 2% Medicare levy on taxable income to help fund public health care. Incomes at or below the low-income threshold are exempt. This tool estimates the levy; the income-tax calculation excludes the Low Income Tax Offset (LITO), which can further reduce tax for low incomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tax-free threshold?
The first $18,200 of resident taxable income is taxed at 0%, so income up to that amount has no income tax.
Why is the first bracket 15%?
From 1 July 2026 the lowest marginal rate was reduced to 15% as part of the 2025-26 Federal Budget tax cuts.
Is the Medicare levy always 2%?
Most residents pay 2% of taxable income, but very low incomes below the low-income threshold are exempt.

Limitations
Uses the resident tax scales for 2026-27 and the 2% Medicare levy without the low-income reduction. It does not model the Medicare levy surcharge, the seniors’ and pensioners’ tax offset, HELP repayments or withholding schedules, and it excludes the low and middle income tax offset, which has ended. Non-resident and working holiday maker rates differ; figures are estimates only.
