Method: annual tax on the equivalent yearly income, divided by 52 pays. The ATO's official schedule works per pay event and rounds to whole dollars, so payslip figures can differ by a few dollars each pay. Both approaches settle to the same annual tax 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 weekly tax calculator includes with one toggle. Employers should confirm final amounts against the ATO's published weekly schedule before running payroll.

Frequently asked questions

How much tax comes out of $1,500 a week?
About $298 for a resident claiming the tax-free threshold in 2026-27, leaving roughly $1,202 in hand. Without the threshold it is about $350. Both figures include the Medicare levy.
Which weekly tax table applies from 1 July 2026?
The 2026-27 schedule, which builds in the 15% rate on income between $18,201 and $45,000. Weekly withholding fell slightly compared with 2025-26 because of that rate cut.
Does the weekly tax table include Medicare levy?
Yes. The ATO weekly schedule for residents builds the 2% levy into the withheld amount, and the figures on this page do the same.
Why does my payslip differ from this table by a couple of dollars?
The ATO schedule works pay by pay and rounds to whole dollars, while this table annualises. Small differences wash out at your tax return, always in a direction the return corrects.
What if I get paid 53 times in a year?
Some years contain 53 weekly pays. Employers can withhold a little extra each pay to cover it; otherwise the small shortfall is settled at your return.
