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 $200,000
The rate on income from $18,201 to $45,000 fell from 16% to 15% on 1 July 2026. At $200,000 that is $268 a year less tax, about $10 a fortnight: $59,870 of income tax and Medicare levy in 2026–27 against $60,138 in 2025–26, 0.45% 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.
The next $1,000
A pay rise of $1,000 on $200,000 adds $530 to 2026–27 take-home; $470 goes in income tax and the Medicare levy. With a HECS/HELP debt, $430 of it is kept.
$200,000 is in the top bracket: every extra dollar is taxed at 45% plus the Medicare levy.
$200,000 across 12 tax years
Income tax after offsets plus the Medicare levy on the same $200,000 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. The 2015–16 and 2016–17 figures include the Temporary Budget Repair Levy (2% above $180,000).
