Loading calculator
Compare your current salary with a percentage or fixed-dollar increase, including the estimated change to tax and annual take-home pay.
Understand the comparison
The calculator keeps gross salary arithmetic separate from the existing tax engine, then presents both scenarios side by side.
A percentage increase is applied to current annual salary. A fixed increase is added directly to that salary.
Current and new salaries are independently processed through the same versioned income-tax and Medicare rules.
The comparison excludes employer super, HELP, salary sacrifice, offsets and the Medicare Levy Surcharge.
Need salary sacrifice, HELP repayments or superannuation? Use the Australian Salary Calculator.
