Pay rise calculator
How much of a pay rise you keep after tax, per year, month and fortnight, at 2026–27 rates.
A pay rise is taxed at your marginal rate, so you keep less than the full amount. For example, a 4% rise on $90,000 adds $3,600 before tax and $2,448 a year after tax ($94 a fortnight) at 2026–27 resident rates. That is 68% of the rise. Enter your own figures below.

Good to know
- Only the part of your income inside a higher bracket is taxed at the higher rate, so a rise never lowers your take-home pay from income tax alone.
- A higher income can change other amounts not shown here, such as HECS-HELP repayments or the Medicare levy surcharge. See the HECS-HELP repayment calculator.
