About WageCalculator

Empowering Australians with instant, accurate, and private pay intelligence. From gross to net, hourly to annual—we make your numbers clear.

More Than Just a Basic Calculator

Most online pay calculators are too simple. They give you a single number but fail to explain why.

We built WageCalculator to go deeper. We provide detailed breakdowns of Medicare Levy, HECS/HELP repayments, and Superannuation. We also offer specialized tools for Public Service salaries, Novated Leases, and Salary Sacrifice that you won't find on basic sites. We give you the complete picture so you can make smarter financial decisions.

Our Commitment

We prioritize accuracy, privacy, and transparency in everything we build.

ATO-Compliant

All tax brackets, Medicare levy, and HECS thresholds are strictly aligned with official 2025-26 ATO rates.

Privacy First

Your financial data never leaves your device. All calculations run locally in your browser for complete security.

Transparent

We believe in open formulas. Our calculations are verifiable against official government documentation.
