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.

$230,000 across 12 tax years
Income tax after offsets plus the Medicare levy on the same $230,000 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).
