Without private hospital cover, add $1,150 a year
$115,000 is above the $105,000 Medicare levy surcharge threshold for a single in 2026-27, so a year without hospital cover costs an extra $1,150 at 1% - taking take-home pay to $86,530. A basic hospital policy for less than that leaves you in front, and the surcharge buys you nothing. Family thresholds are roughly double and rise with each child, so a spouse changes the answer - run it with your own situation.
Worked back the other way, $115,000 a year is $58.20 an hour on a 38-hour week, or $55.29 an hour across a 40-hour one.

The 1 July 2026 tax cut (the 16% rate dropped to 15%) is worth $268 a year on this income compared with 2025-26. Figures are for an Australian resident with no dependants, including the low income tax offset where it applies, and leave out anything personal to you - deductions, salary sacrifice, other offsets and the private health rebate. The Medicare levy surcharge is excluded from the headline figure because it depends on your cover, not your salary; where it applies it is set out above. General information only, not tax advice.
