- Computed on gross income; nothing in it depends on whether the income is wages or self-employed profit. For self-employed or freelance income the tax is different and is not computed here: A sole trader’s profit is taxed at the same rates with the same Medicare levy, but may also get the small business income tax offset (16% of the tax on that profit, up to $1,000), so their tax can be up to $1,000 lower.
Includes the Medicare levy low-income reduction for the years its thresholds are on file (2025-26 and 2026-27: nil to $28,011, shaded in at 10% of the excess to $35,013; 2024-25: $27,222 to $34,027). LITO reduces income tax only, never the levy. Excludes HECS/HELP, the Medicare levy surcharge, the seniors and pensioners thresholds, family thresholds and other offsets.
