About this tool
Enter your yearly income and the bonus. The tool works out how much more tax you pay on the year because of the bonus, including the Medicare levy, and shows the net amount. A bonus is not taxed at a special rate; it is added to your income. Rates and rules change each year, so use the result as a guide and check the official source.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my bonus look heavily taxed?
Payroll may withhold at a high rate, but the final tax is worked out on your yearly income at your tax return.
Is super paid on bonuses?
Often yes, if the bonus counts as ordinary time earnings or is for work. Check with your employer.
