Wage Calculator Support FAQ
How accurate are PAYG tax calculations?
Wage Calculator uses official ATO tax brackets and rates for 2025-26. All PAYG income tax, HECS repayments, and Medicare levy calculations follow current Australian tax law.
Can I compare job offers with different salaries?
Yes! Use our salary comparison tool to compare take-home pay between job offers, including superannuation contributions and tax implications.
Do you store my salary information?
No, all calculations are performed in your browser. Wage Calculator doesn't store or transmit your personal financial data.
What HECS repayment thresholds are used?
We use current HECS-HELP repayment thresholds from $51,550 to $151,201+ with rates from 1% to 10% as per Department of Education guidelines.
How is Medicare levy calculated?
Medicare levy is 2% of taxable income above $29,207 (2025-26). We include shade-in rates and exemptions for low-income earners.
