The same gross salary under each year's own tax rules - brackets, offsets, Medicare thresholds and the study loan scale all move together. It is not adjusted for inflation, so read it as “what the tax system did”, not “what you were better off”. Employer super is left out on purpose: the guarantee rate was itself rising across these years, so a column of it would sit beside the tax columns answering a different question.

Estimates for 2026-27 (1 July 2026 - 30 June 2027), for an Australian resident with no dependants, based on published ATO rates, the Medicare levy. If you are of age pension age, treat this as too high: the seniors and pensioners tax offset and the higher Medicare threshold that goes with it can remove the tax on incomes up to roughly $35,000 entirely. Set Age pension age under Super, family & novated lease to include them. It leaves out things that are personal to you - deductions, other offsets, investment income, fringe benefits and the private health rebate. General information only, not tax advice.
