How your tax is calculated

The first $18,200 is tax-free. Income is then taxed at 19% to $45,000, 32.5% to $135,000, 37% to $190,000 and 45% above that. The 2% Medicare levy applies on top. Employer superannuation is paid separately, on top of your salary. Your marginal rate is 30% — every additional $1 you earn keeps roughly $0.70 after tax and Medicare.
