Income tax — common questions
What is the tax-free threshold in Australia?
The first $18,200 you earn each year is tax-free. You only pay income tax on income above that threshold.
How much tax do I pay on $90,000 in Australia?
On a $90,000 salary in 2026-27 you would pay about $17,520 in income tax plus a $1,800 Medicare levy — roughly $19,320 in total, leaving about $70,680 take-home.
What is the difference between the marginal and average tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the tax on your next dollar earned (your top bracket). Your average rate is your total tax divided by your total income — always lower than the marginal rate because the first dollars are taxed less.
Does this include the Medicare levy?
Yes — the 2% Medicare levy is included. It excludes the Medicare levy surcharge, HECS/HELP repayments and other offsets.

Yes — it is completely free, with no sign-up. Fin works out your tax and take-home pay instantly.
Did you know?
A birthday cake helped sink a GST and an election: in 1993, Opposition Leader John Hewson couldn't say whether his proposed GST would make a birthday cake cheaper or dearer, fumbling about icing and candles on live TV.
The 3 March 1993 'birthday cake interview' with Mike Willesee on A Current Affair is widely blamed for Hewson losing the 'unloseable' federal election ten days later, on 13 March 1993; the GST didn't arrive until Howard finally legislated it seven years on.
Source: Wikipedia — Birthday cake interview ↗Australia's GST has been frozen at 10% for over 25 years, partly because changing the rate legally requires the unanimous agreement of every state and territory plus both houses of federal Parliament.
Treasury states plainly that 'legislation requires that changes to the GST base or rate require unanimous agreement by all State and Territory governments, as well as both houses of the Australian Parliament' — a political straitjacket flowing from the 1999 Intergovernmental Agreement that has kept the rate untouched since 1 July 2000.
