How these calculators work

Each calculator runs in your browser and updates as you type. The figures behind them come from the Australian Taxation Office, the Fair Work Ombudsman, Services Australia and state revenue and long service leave authorities, and each page lists the sources it uses.

Pay and leave rules start with the National Employment Standards, which set the minimum for almost every employee in Australia. Many workers are also covered by a modern award or enterprise agreement with higher rates, penalty rates or extra leave, so treat the results as a starting point and check the instrument that covers your job.

For employers, the staffing tools show the cost of an employee beyond salary: super, payroll tax, workers compensation, leave and recruitment. They also show how a labour hire charge rate is built, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.

Frequently asked questions

Are these calculators free?

Yes. Every calculator is free to use with no sign-up. Results are worked out in your browser and nothing you type is sent to us.

Which year are the rates for?

The calculators use 2026-27 figures: the tax rates, super guarantee, national minimum wage and thresholds that apply from 1 July 2026. Each page lists its sources and assumptions.

Can I rely on the results?

They are estimates for general information. Awards, enterprise agreements and personal circumstances change the answer, so check your award, payslip or a qualified adviser before making a decision.

Who are the calculators for?

Workers checking pay, leave, tax and super, and employers working out staffing costs, payroll tax and labour hire charge rates.
