About TaxTakeHome

TaxTakeHome is a take-home pay calculator and tax-rates reference for Australia. Enter a salary and see income tax, the Medicare levy, any HELP repayment, super, and what lands in your account each year, month, fortnight and week.

The site is published by Inventum, an Australian company. Content is maintained under the byline TaxTakeHome Editorial. We do not publish individual personas or invented credentials. Accountability rests on things you can check for yourself: a named publisher, a public methodology, dated and version-stamped datasets, and an open corrections inbox.

Who pays for it

TaxTakeHome is independent and ad-funded. Its only income is display advertising served by Google AdSense, and Inventum meets its costs. No bank, lender, broker, super fund, accountant or tax agent pays TaxTakeHome anything: there is no sponsorship, no commission, no referral fee and no affiliate link anywhere on the site. Google chooses which ads appear. No advertiser sees or influences a figure, and no figure changes because of an ad.

What it is and is not

TaxTakeHome is not a tax agent, financial adviser or government service. It has no affiliation with the Australian Taxation Office or any government body. It gives general information to help you understand your pay, not personal advice.

Where the numbers come from

The rates come from the ATO’s published tables, kept in dated datasets that record the source page and the date each was checked. Everything built on them is computed by TaxTakeHome: take-home pay at every salary, the change from one year to the next, the same salary across twelve tax years, and the reports. The calculator and every page share one calculation engine, so the numbers on a page and the numbers in the tool cannot disagree.
