2025–26 vs 2026–27
| 2025–26 | 2026–27 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income tax | $23,788 | $23,220 | −$568 |
| Medicare levy | $2,200 | $2,180 | −$20 |
| Take-home a year | $84,012 | $84,600 | +$588 |
| Take-home a fortnight | $3,231.23 | $3,253.85 | +$22.62 |
You are $588 a year better off: $268 from the 15% rate replacing 16%, and $320 from the new $1,000 standard deduction. Only the rate cut shows in your pay (tax withheld each fortnight went from $1,002 to $990); the deduction comes back when you lodge your 2026–27 tax return. In 2027–28, with the 14% rate and the $250 Working Australians tax offset, take-home rises to $85,118.
With HELP, salary sacrifice or no hospital cover
| Take-home a year | A fortnight | Difference a fortnight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| No HELP, with hospital cover | $84,600 | $3,253.85 | — |
| With a HELP debt | $78,679 | $3,026.12 | −$227.72 |
| $5,000 salary sacrifice | $81,200 | $3,123.08 | −$130.77 |
| HELP + $5,000 salary sacrifice | $75,279 | $2,895.35 | −$358.49 |
| No private hospital cover | $83,510 | $3,211.92 | −$41.92 |
| Without the standard deduction | $84,280 | $3,241.54 | −$12.31 |
With a HELP debt your compulsory repayment is $5,920.80 a year: 15c for each $1 of repayment income over $69,528. Your employer withholds $234 a fortnight towards it. Salary sacrificing $5,000 into super lowers your take-home by $3,400, so each $1 in super costs you $0.68. With your $13,200 super guarantee that makes $18,200 of concessional contributions, $14,300 under the $32,500 cap. Without private hospital cover you would also pay the Medicare levy surcharge: 1% of $109,000, or $1,090 a year.
Super on top of your salary
Your employer must pay 12% super guarantee into your fund: $13,200 a year, or $507.69 a fortnight, on top of the $110,000 salary, so your total package is $123,200. If a job is advertised at $110,000 including super, the salary is only $98,214 and the take-home $76,586 ($2,945.60 a fortnight).
What lands in your account each fortnight
Your employer withholds $990 from each fortnightly pay of $4,230.77 (Scale 2, tax-free threshold claimed), leaving $3,240.77. Over the year that is $25,740 against $25,400 of tax and Medicare levy actually due, so expect about $340 back in your tax return. PAYG withholding doesn't include the standard deduction, which is worth $320 to you. See the PAYG withholding calculator.
Hourly rate
$110,000 is $55.67 an hour for a 38-hour week (1,976 hours a year), or $42.81 an hour after tax. That is 2.1 times the National Minimum Wage of $26.44. See the hourly wage calculator to change the hours.
