How we worked this out
Uses the resident tax rates for the year you pick, the low income tax offset (and for 2021–22 the low and middle income tax offset), and the Medicare levy (2%, with the low-income reduction). Your actual withholding follows the ATO tax tables, so your payslip may differ by a few dollars. It doesn’t include HELP or other study loan repayments, the Medicare levy surcharge, salary sacrifice, or other offsets.
