Income Tax Calculator

Estimate the tax on your income and see what your take-home pay looks like.

What it does

Enter your income and the calculator estimates the tax payable and what lands in your account — the number that actually matters for budgeting.

Why take-home pay is the useful figure

Budgets built on gross salary fail immediately. Planning works from what arrives, after tax and any other deductions.

If your income varies — shift work, FIFO rosters, casual hours, self-employment — the useful exercise is to build the budget around a conservative figure and treat the better months as a buffer rather than a baseline.

Important information

This calculator provides general information only and produces an estimate. It does not take your personal circumstances into account, does not account for every offset, levy, deduction or rebate, and is not personal tax or financial advice.

For advice on your tax position, speak to a registered tax agent or accountant. The ATO publishes free official calculators and guidance.

MyBudget is not a licensed financial adviser and is not a registered tax agent.

Turning it into a plan

Once you know your take-home figure, MyBudget can build a personalised 12-month budget around it. The first appointment and the budget are free.

What is the MyBudget Income Tax Calculator?

The MyBudget Income Tax Calculator is a free online tool that helps Australian users estimate their income tax obligations and calculate their take-home pay, allowing them to calculate before and after-tax income in seconds.

What information do I need to input to use the calculator?

You need to input your total income from all sources (including salary, investments, and other income sources), your income frequency (annually, monthly, fortnightly, or weekly), and your income tax type (net or gross).

What is the difference between net and gross income in this calculator?

Net income is your total income deposited to you after tax, while gross income is the total amount before tax.

What results does the calculator show after I enter my details?

The calculator displays your results across multiple frequency options, showing your gross income, income tax amount, and net income.

Is the MyBudget Income Tax Calculator free to use?

Yes, the calculator is free to use with no registration required.

What can the Income Tax Calculator be used for besides basic tax estimation?

It can be used to estimate tax liability for budget planning, understand disposable income more clearly, assess how side hustle earnings may affect overall take-home pay, and estimate expected after-tax income for assessing Part 9 debt agreement eligibility.

Should I treat the calculator's results as an official quote?

No. The results should be used as an indication only and do not represent quotes or pre-qualifications for any product, since individual institutions apply different formulas and figures like interest rates are subject to change.

Who publishes the Income Tax Calculator page?
