- Taxable income
- Tax year (fiscal year)
- Tax residency (resident, working holiday or non-resident)
- Has a spouse or dependent
Taxable income is the income you have to pay tax on.
ATO offers a great explanation: “Assessable income − allowable deductions = taxable income“.
Assessable income is income that can be taxed, such as salary and pensions. If your wage includes Superannuation, you need to minus it to get your taxable income.
Tax threshold rates change from tax year to tax year so be sure to keep up-to-date on ATO site.
Your tax residency is also another important factor which determines how much tax you have to pay and offsets you can receive. Basically, if you’re not a resident for tax purpose, you will not receive any offsets.
Tax residency is different from citizenship. One can be an Australian resident for tax purposes without being an Australian citizen or permanent resident, unless you have visa 417 or 462. The 3 types of tax residency are:
- Australian residents
- Foreign residents
- Working holiday makers (people with visa 417 or 462)
If you’re still confused with your tax residency status, you can refer to ATO examples or use their resides test.
Lastly, having a spouse/partner or dependent(s) will reduce your tax commitment and potentially entitle you to more offsets.
A spouse is someone you are married to or in a de facto relationship. Refer to this page for the official definition.
A dependent child is someone:
- under 21 years old
- between 21 to 24 years old and a full-time student at a school, college or university
Refer to this page for the official definition.
If you want to understand the definition of common tax terms, refer to this glossary we put together.
Working from home during COVID-19
Due to the sudden swift to working from home, ATO introduced a temporary shortcut method to calculate home office expenses between 1 March to 30 June 2020.
For every hour you work from home from March to June, you can claim a deduction of 80 cents. This shortcut method covers all additional deductible running expenses such as lightning, internet cost, phone costs, etc.

Resident
Remember you can be an Australian resident for tax purposes without being an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
This is the only class to have a tax-free threshold.

Working Holiday Makers
Also known as Backpacker Tax, this tax was recently announced in 2017. Working holiday makers are taxed on a progressive tax scale without the benefit of a tax-free threshold. If you hold a 417 (Working Holiday) or 462 (Work and Holiday) visa, you automatically fall under Working Holiday Makers.
There is a current court case about whether this tax is lawful but it is out of the scope for this website. If you like to know more, please read more on ABC news.

Tax Offsets & Rebates
If you are an Australian resident for tax purposes and your taxable income is below a certain amount, you may be eligible for all or one of the offsets listed below.
Tax offsets only refund the amount of tax payable on your taxable income. They are non-refundable and can’t be carried forward to future years. It also can’t be used to offset Medicare Levy.
For example, if you are entitled to $1000 tax offset but your tax payable is $800, you don’t have to pay ATO $800 but you won’t receive a $200 payout.
Our calculator only goes back to 2016-17 financial year. For more information, refer to either ATO or Wolters Kluwer.

Paid weekly - Weekly salary × 52
Paid day rate - Daily salary × Days you worked per week × Weeks you worked per year
Paid hourly per week - Hourly salary × Hours you worked per week × Weeks you worked per year
Paid hourly per day - Hourly salary × Hours you worked per day × Days you worked per week × Weeks you worked per year

Calculating gross monthly income if you're paid hourly
You need to understand your annual income first.
Hourly income × Hours you worked per day × Days you worked per week × Weeks you worked per year = Your annual income.
Then divide your annual income by 12 to determine your monthly income.
How much do I make an hour?
Paid annually - Annual salary ÷ 52 ÷ Days you worked per week ÷ Hours you worked per day
Paid monthly - Monthly salary × 4 ÷ Days you worked per week ÷ Hours you worked per day
Paid fortnightly - Fortnightly salary × 2 ÷ Days you worked per week ÷ Hours you worked per day
Paid weekly - Weekly salary ÷ Days you worked per week ÷ Hours you worked per day
Paid day rate - Daily salary ÷ Hours you worked per day
Calculating an Hourly Wage from an Annual Salary
The formula is Annual salary ÷ 52 ÷ Days you worked per week ÷ Hours you worked per day
If you earned $50,000 annually and work five 8 hours days per week, your pre-tax hourly rate is $50,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 5 ÷ 8 = $24.03
What is net salary?
Also called take home pay, net salary is the amount of money you take home after all the deductions such as taxes and contributions. Gross salary is the amount of money before taxes and contributions.
