How your tax is calculated
- Taxed by marginal brackets you listed above.
- Medicare levy (if selected) is added.
- Offsets (e.g., LITO) may reduce calculated tax.
- Typically a flat rate (e.g., 25% or 30%) on taxable income.
- Medicare levy not applicable.
- Offsets differ or don’t apply like individuals (handled in company tax rules).
Offsets reduce your calculated tax (they don’t reduce taxable income). In this calculator you can implement them after computing bracket tax.
| Offset | Applies to income | Amount / Formula | How to apply |
|---|---|---|---|
| LITO (Low Income Tax Offset) | Up to ~$66,667 (phases out) | Example: max $700; reduces by 5c per $1 above ~$37,500 until nil. | Compute bracket tax → subtract LITO (not below zero). |
| Senior & pensioner (SAPTO) | Eligible seniors; thresholds vary | Capped offset that phases out as income rises. | Apply after bracket tax; depends on eligibility. |
| Zone/Overseas forces | Specific living/service criteria | Fixed or scaled amounts | Add after brackets; confirm eligibility. |
Notes: Offsets are capped and subject to eligibility. Exact thresholds/amounts can change; confirm current values for production use.
- Start with taxable income (after deductions).
- If Individual: compute tax via the marginal brackets you provided.
- If Company: compute tax =
income × (rate/100). - Apply offsets (e.g., LITO) to reduce tax, not below zero.
- Add Medicare levy (if selected and Individual).
- Total payable = tax after offsets + levy.
- Compare with Tax paid → you get remaining payable (or refund).
- Take-home = income − total payable.
Income $45,000, levy 2%.
- Bracket tax (per your schedule):
$4,288 + 30%×(45,000−45,000)= $4,288. - Illustrative LITO: say $700 (phase rules may reduce).
- Tax after offsets:
$4,288 − $700 = $3,588(min 0). - Levy:
45,000 × 2% = $900. - Total payable ≈ $4,488.
Income $90,000, rate 25%.
- Company tax:
$90,000 × 25% = $22,500. - No Medicare levy.
- Total payable ≈ $22,500 (before any company-specific adjustments).
