# Who can use this Australian tax calculator?

The Australian salary calculator supports a defined employee profile. Match these assumptions before using the result for your own budget.

## The supported personal profile

The calculator supports the Australian financial years available in its selector, subject to the displayed validity status. All these assumptions must fit for a personal estimate.

- Australian resident for tax purposes for the full financial year.
- Aged 18–66, single throughout the year, with no spouse or dependants.
- Ordinary cash employment income only, with no deductions beyond the automatically modeled standard deduction and no special tax offsets.
- No Medicare exemption and either full-year appropriate hospital cover or no appropriate cover all year.
- No reportable fringe benefits, reportable super contributions, net investment losses or exempt foreign employment income.

## What the result includes

The breakdown includes the selected year’s supported standard deduction, resident income tax, the low income tax offset, standard single-person Medicare levy rules and Medicare levy surcharge for the selected full-year cover setting. Compulsory HELP repayments are optional.

Package mode is a separate illustration using the displayed contribution assumption on all cash salary. It does not calculate the statutory super guarantee contribution cap.

## When to use a different calculation

The release does not cover businesses, capital gains, rental or investment income, foreign income, salary sacrifice, share schemes, pensions, termination payments, working holiday makers, part-year residency or family tax settings.

Do not compensate for a missing rule by changing your salary input. Use an appropriate ATO calculator or obtain advice that considers your circumstances. Payroll withholding and tax-return refunds also require information this tool does not collect.
