What the 2026–27 cut is worth at $190,000
The rate on income from $18,201 to $45,000 fell from 16% to 15% on 1 July 2026. At $190,000 that is $268 a year less tax, about $10 a fortnight: $55,170 of income tax and Medicare levy in 2026–27 against $55,438 in 2025–26, 0.48% lower than the 2025–26 bill.

$190,000 across 12 tax years
Income tax after offsets plus the Medicare levy on the same $190,000 under every resident scale from 2015–16 to 2026–27.

The 2015–16 and 2016–17 figures include the Temporary Budget Repair Levy (2% above $180,000).
