Weekly Tax Table 2026-27
The PAYG withholding amounts for weekly pay in 2026-27, with and without the tax-free threshold. A weekly wage of $1,800 has $395 withheld, leaving $1,405 in hand. Every figure is calculated with the ATO Schedule 1 formula that sits behind NAT 1005, so it matches what payroll withholds rather than approximating it. The financial year runs 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, so this is the table some people look for as FY2027.
The full lookup table, every dollar from $0 to $3,000, in both the threshold and no-threshold columns. 17 pages, 193 KB, free and no signup. Computed from the ATO Schedule 1 formulas, not a copy of the ATO document.
Download the weekly tax table (PDF)The table below covers common weekly wages in $100 steps. For a wage between rows, or one with a HELP debt, use the weekly tax calculator. It answers a slightly different question and can land a few dollars away from this table on purpose: the table is what payroll withholds each pay under Schedule 1, the calculator is what the year adds up to. Both settle to the same place at your return.

Method: the ATO Schedule 1 statement of formulas (NAT 1004, published 17 June 2026), the same calculation payroll software runs. Our implementation is checked against the ATO's own published sample data, 720 assertions across weekly, fortnightly and monthly on every scale, and reproduces it exactly. Withholding is a prepayment, so the final tax is settled at your return.
How to read this table
Find the row closest to gross weekly pay before tax and super. The withheld column is what the employer takes out under PAYG withholding; the take-home column is what lands in the bank. Use the no-threshold column when the job is a second job, because the tax-free threshold belongs to one employer only. The rates behind every figure are the 2026-27 tax brackets.
These figures assume no HELP debt. A study loan adds a repayment component above $69,528 of annual income for 2026-27, which the calculator linked above includes with one toggle. Employers should confirm final amounts against the ATO's published weekly schedule before running payroll.
How much tax do I pay each week?
Find your gross weekly pay in the first column and read across. That is the whole method, and it is the same one the ATO weekly tax table uses. The withheld figure is not your final tax for the year, it is a running prepayment: the Australian weekly tax tables are built so that twelve months of correct withholding lands close to the tax actually assessed on your return.
Two things move the number off the table. Overtime, a bonus or a one-off allowance in a given week pushes that week into a higher band, because the table assumes this week is every week. Working part of the year, or changing jobs mid-year, does the reverse and usually produces a refund. Neither is an error in the table; both settle at assessment.
The official ATO weekly tax table (NAT 1005)
The ATO publishes the weekly table as NAT 1005, reissued 17 June 2026 and applying to payments made from 1 July 2026. Two downloads sit on that page under the heading "Using this table": a printable PDF lookup table, and an XLSX withholding lookup tool for anyone who wants the figures in a spreadsheet. There is no separate ATO Excel table beyond that tool.
The ATO table is laid out in columns. Column 2 is the amount to withhold when the payee claims the tax-free threshold, column 3 when they do not. Those map onto the two withheld columns above. The formulas the whole table is generated from live in Schedule 1, the statement of formulas (NAT 1004), which is what payroll software implements.
Withholding scales and what your TFN declaration sets
Payroll systems label the columns as scales, and a payslip or payroll report may show a tax code rather than a dollar figure. Scale 2 is the common one: an Australian resident who has claimed the tax-free threshold, which is the first withheld column above. Scale 1 is a resident who has not claimed it, the second column. Scale 3 covers foreign residents, scale 4 applies when no tax file number has been quoted, and scales 5 and 6 cover full and half Medicare levy exemptions. The answers on the tax file number declaration are what pick the scale.
Where no TFN has been quoted and no exemption or application applies, the ATO requires 47% withholding from a resident payee and 45% from a foreign resident, with no tax offsets, no Medicare levy adjustment and no study loan component. A study or training support loan is added on top of the figures above using the separate study and training support loans weekly tax table once annual repayment income passes $69,528 in 2026-27.
