About this tool
Enter your yearly income, the tax your employer withheld and your deductions. The tool works out the tax on your taxable income with 2025-26 resident rates and the Medicare levy, and compares it with the tax withheld. Rates and rules change each year, so use the result as a guide and check the official source.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I get a refund?
Because tax withheld during the year was more than the tax on your final taxable income, often thanks to deductions.
Are offsets included?
No. Low income and other offsets are not included, so a real result may differ.
