PAYG withholding estimator
Roughly how much tax comes out of a pay packet before it hits your worker's account — so you can plan wages and cash flow.
Assumes the tax-free threshold is claimed and no HELP/student loan debt.
≈ $399
What this means
On $1,800 gross per week (about $93,600 a year), you'd withhold roughly $399 and pay your worker $1,401. That withheld money isn't yours — set it aside, because it gets handed to the ATO with your next activity statement. Budget the full $1,800 (plus super) as your real cost of the pay.
Planning estimate only. Real payroll software applies the exact ATO tax tables — plus things this tool ignores, like HELP debts, tax offsets, and whether the tax-free threshold is claimed. Use this to plan, never to run an actual pay.
