A 2% levy on your taxable income that helps fund Australia's public healthcare system, on top of your regular income tax. It doesn't apply below a low-income threshold, and the ATO phases it in gradually just above that threshold — this calculator uses a simplified flat 2% above the threshold.
PAYG (Pay As You Go) is how your employer withholds tax from each pay so you don't face one huge tax bill at year-end. The per-pay-period figures here approximate what PAYG withholding aims to achieve, though actual payroll withholding tables may differ slightly.
Money you salary sacrifice into superannuation is taken from your pay before income tax is calculated, reducing your taxable income — though it's then taxed at 15% inside your super fund instead, which is usually lower than your marginal income tax rate.
No — the separate Medicare Levy Surcharge (an extra 1-1.5%) applies to higher earners without private hospital cover, on top of the standard levy. This calculator only models the standard 2% levy.
