Estimates from dated ATO datasets. Actual PAYG withholding per payslip can differ slightly. Medicare low-income thresholds for 2026–27 use the 2025–26 thresholds: the ATO had not published 2026–27 thresholds when checked on 24 September 2026. This affects incomes up to $35,013 only.

What the 2026–27 cut is worth at $101,000
The rate on income from $18,201 to $45,000 fell from 16% to 15% on 1 July 2026. At $101,000 that is $268 a year less tax, about $10 a fortnight: $22,840 of income tax and Medicare levy in 2026–27 against $23,108 in 2025–26, 1.16% lower than the 2025–26 bill.

A pay rise of $1,000 on $101,000 adds $680 to 2026–27 take-home; $320 goes in income tax and the Medicare levy. With a HECS/HELP debt, $530 of it is kept.

With a HECS/HELP debt
The 2026–27 compulsory repayment on $101,000 is $4,721, $379 less than the $5,100 due for 2025–26. The repayment threshold rose from $67,000 to $69,528 on 1 July 2026, and the bands above it moved too. See the 2026–27 repayment table.
A Medicare levy surcharge step near $101,000
Without private hospital cover, the 2026–27 surcharge is $0 on $105,000 of income for surcharge purposes and $1,050 on $105,001: one more dollar costs $1,050, because the 1% rate applies to the whole income. $101,000 is $4,000 below that step. Tiers: Medicare levy surcharge 2026–27.
$101,000 across 12 tax years
Income tax after offsets plus the Medicare levy on the same $101,000 under every resident scale from 2015–16 to 2026–27. The levy is taken at the full 2% in every year: the low-income reduction is not modelled, and it cannot apply at $40,000 or more.
