Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tax estimator?
A tax estimator predicts your end-of-year tax outcome before you lodge — whether you'll get a refund or owe the ATO. It compares the tax withheld from your pay against your actual tax liability on your taxable income.
How much tax will I get back in Australia?
Your refund equals the tax withheld by your employer minus your actual liability (income tax + 2% Medicare levy − Low Income Tax Offset). Deductions reduce your taxable income, increasing your refund. The average Australian refund is around $2,800.
Is this tax back calculator accurate for 2026-27?
Yes — it uses the official ATO 2026-27 tax brackets (including the new 15% second bracket), the 2% Medicare levy and the Low Income Tax Offset. It's an estimate; your final assessment may vary with capital gains, offsets or foreign income.
