How Income Tax Works in Australia
Australia uses a progressive tax system — the more you earn, the higher the rate you pay on your earnings above each threshold. The Stage 3 tax cuts (effective 1 July 2024) reduced the second bracket from 19% to 16% and the third from 32.5% to 30%. Below are the 2024-25 and 2025-26 tax brackets.
| Income Range | Marginal Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $18,200 | 0% |
| $18,201 – $45,000 | 16% |
| $45,001 – $135,000 | 30% |
| $135,001 – $190,000 | 37% |
| $190,001+ | 45% |
