What comes out of your pay
- Income tax: nil on the first $18,200, then 15%, 30%, 37% and 45%. See the income tax calculator for the band-by-band breakdown.
- Medicare levy: 2% of taxable income.
- HELP / HECS: if you have a study loan.
- Salary sacrifice: if you choose to put extra pre-tax pay into super.
Your employer also pays 12% super guarantee into your fund. That money is yours but you cannot spend it until retirement, so it is not part of take-home pay.
Frequently asked questions
What does a take home pay calculator show?
Take home pay (net pay) is what lands in your bank account after your employer withholds income tax, the Medicare levy and any HELP repayment. Employer super is paid separately into your fund and is not part of it.
What is the take-home pay on $75,000 in 2026-27?
$60,480.00 a year: $1,163.08 a week, $2,326.16 a fortnight or $5,040.00 a month, for an Australian resident without a HELP debt.
Does a HELP debt reduce my take-home pay?
Yes, once your repayment income is over $69,528. Your employer withholds extra each pay, and it is credited against your loan when you lodge your return.
How do I calculate my take home pay?
Start with your gross pay, take off income tax (after the low income tax offset), the Medicare levy and any HELP repayment. What is left is your take home pay. The take home pay calculator above does this for any pay period.
