Built for Australian numbers

Most calculators on the internet are built for somewhere else. They assume a tax year starting in January, quote fuel economy in miles per gallon, add a sales tax that works differently from GST, and know nothing about the superannuation guarantee or a HELP debt. For an Australian question, that makes them anywhere from mildly annoying to plainly wrong.

OzCalc starts from the Australian case. The income year runs from 1 July to 30 June. Tax uses the resident brackets for 2026–27, with the low income tax offset and the Medicare levy applied the way the ATO applies them. Pay converts across weekly, fortnightly and monthly cycles using PAYG withholding, the same method as a payslip. Rent is advertised weekly and converted with a 52-week year. Fuel is litres per 100 kilometres. Business days respect the public holidays of the state you choose, because in Australia those are set state by state.

Where a figure is set by government we take it from the body that sets it — the ATO, Fair Work, or a state authority — and the page names that source, the period it applies to and the date we last reviewed it. That is also why a result is described as an estimate: the method is published, but your circumstances are not something a general tool can know.

How OzCalc works

An estimate you can inspect

A useful calculator should explain the result, not just display it. OzCalc shows the method and assumptions, uses dated official sources where rules affect the answer, and keeps the numbers you enter in your browser.

Read our publishing method
  • The formula is visible

    Variables, inclusions and known simplifications sit beside the result.

  • Sources carry dates

    Regulated rates point to the relevant official source and review date.

  • Corrections are welcome

    Every calculator links to a contact route if an assumption or rule needs attention.

Common questions

Is OzCalc free, and do I need an account?

Every calculator and guide is free and there is no account. The numbers you type stay in your browser — they are not sent to a server or saved to a profile. Favourites and recently used tools are stored on your own device only.

Which financial year do the tax calculators use?

The current default is the 2026–27 income year, which runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Where a calculation is available for more than one year you can switch between them, and each page shows the ATO source and the date the figures were last reviewed.

Why does my payslip differ from the calculator by a few dollars?

Employers use PAYG withholding, which rounds each individual pay and assumes that pay is representative of the whole year. Year-end income tax is calculated once on your total taxable income. The two methods legitimately differ, which is part of why a tax return results in a refund or a bill.

Are the results advice I can rely on?

No. They are estimates produced by applying a published method to the figures you enter, and they cannot account for your deductions, other income, award, lender fees or energy tariff. Each page lists what it assumes and names the official source, so you can check anything important against the authority that sets it.

Where do the rates and thresholds come from?

Regulated figures come from the body that sets them: the ATO for income tax, the Medicare levy and surcharge, GST, study loan thresholds and the superannuation guarantee; the Fair Work Ombudsman for hours, leave and public holidays; and state authorities where the rule is set by state law, as with residential tenancies.

How do I report a wrong result or an out-of-date rate?

Use the contact page and name the calculator plus the inputs you used. Corrections are made in the underlying dataset, which updates every calculator and guide that depends on that figure along with the review date shown on the page.

Use the result as a starting point

Tax, super, lending, energy and workplace outcomes can depend on details a general calculator cannot know. Check the assumptions shown on the page, read the disclaimer, and confirm an important decision with the relevant official source or a qualified professional.
