What number or setting to check next in the calculator.
Use the actual wage basis
If pay is hourly, enter hourly rate, expected hours and weeks worked to estimate annual income.
Award entitlements are separate
This site estimates tax from income. It does not check whether an apprentice wage is correct under an award.
Low income can mean low tax
Lower annual income may have a lower effective tax rate, but exact take-home depends on payroll settings.
Common questions
Can apprentices use the salary calculator?
Yes, if they enter annualised income or use hourly-to-salary inputs.
