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.
