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.
How $150,000 is taxed, bracket by bracket (2026–27)
| Taxable income band | Rate | Amount in band | Tax |

| $135,001 – $150,000 | 37% | $15,000 | $5,550 |

What the 2026–27 cut is worth at $150,000
The rate on income from $18,201 to $45,000 fell from 16% to 15% on 1 July 2026. At $150,000 that is $268 a year less tax, about $10 a fortnight: $39,570 of income tax and Medicare levy in 2026–27 against $39,838 in 2025–26, 0.67% lower than the 2025–26 bill.
That is the full value of the cut. Every salary from $45,000 up gets the same $268, because the whole band sits below it. The cut at all 43 salary points.
