About this comparison

Figures use the 2025–26 tax year and the same logic as our Australian Tax Calculator: a full-year resident on the 2025–26 scale, the Low Income Tax Offset where eligible and the 2% Medicare levy; employer superannuation is paid on top and not deducted. The "net raise" is simply the take-home pay at A$120,000 minus the take-home pay at A$110,000. These are estimates for the 2025–26 tax year and are not personal tax advice.
