An estimate from the inputs you enter, not financial advice and not a forecast. Read the assumptions and exclusions on this page before relying on it.
This estimate assumes you were an Australian tax resident and an adult for the whole income year.. The Medicare levy threshold category you select is assumed; the calculator does not determine section 160AAAA rebate entitlement or any family or exemption status.. The income entered is your already-determined annual ordinary taxable income for the Medicare levy, with none of the excluded income or special treatments.. The general 2% applies above the phase-in limit; between the threshold and the phase-in limit the levy is 10% of the excess over the threshold, per Medicare Levy Act 1986 section 7.. Enter whole dollars. The calculator does not round your input or its result, and this is not tax-return rounding guidance.. Threshold and phase-in limit for general: 28011 and 35013 AUD.. Medicare levy surcharge, family or dependant thresholds and every exemption or section 8-9 reduction are not included; this is the selected-category general levy only. Base income-tax calculation, offsets, HELP/HECS repayment and private health insurance rebate are not included; this is not take-home pay or a final assessed liability. An estimate from the inputs you enter, not financial advice and not a forecast. Read the assumptions and exclusions on this page before relying on it.
