Estimates from dated ATO datasets. Actual PAYG withholding per payslip can differ slightly. Medicare low-income thresholds for 2026–27 use the 2025–26 thresholds: the ATO had not published 2026–27 thresholds when checked on 24 September 2026. This affects incomes up to $35,013 only.

What the 2026–27 cut is worth at $210,000
The rate on income from $18,201 to $45,000 fell from 16% to 15% on 1 July 2026. At $210,000 that is $268 a year less tax, about $10 a fortnight: $64,570 of income tax and Medicare levy in 2026–27 against $64,838 in 2025–26, 0.41% lower than the 2025–26 bill.

$210,000 across 12 tax years
Income tax after offsets plus the Medicare levy on the same $210,000 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).
