About
About this pay calculator
TaxPayCalculator is an independent Australian pay calculator. It estimates take-home pay from published Australian Taxation Office rates for income tax, the Medicare levy, HELP/HECS and the Super Guarantee.
The site is not the Australian Taxation Office, myGov, the Department of Education, or a registered tax agent. Results are estimates for planning. They are not a tax return, a payslip, or personal advice.

Where the rates come from
Each financial year in the calculator uses ATO resident brackets, Medicare and HELP thresholds checked for that year. The methodology lists the sources, the date they were last checked, and what the estimate leaves out. Worked salaries are on the salary calculator and hourly examples are on the hourly rate calculator.
Who runs the site
TaxPayCalculator publishes the calculator and the guides on this site. No staff names, phone numbers or street addresses are listed, because none are published as a public contact. Questions about the site go to the contact page. Privacy questions use the same inbox, which is also on the privacy policy.
