Understanding Taxes & Deductions in Australia
Australia uses a progressive income tax system with rates from 0% to 45%. The tax-free threshold is $18,200, meaning you pay no tax on income below this amount.
In addition to income tax, most residents pay a Medicare Levy of 2% on their taxable income. This funds Australia's public healthcare system.
Employers are required to contribute 11% of your salary to superannuation (retirement savings), but this is not deducted from your take-home pay - it's an additional employer contribution.
