Most common situations
Resigning soon
Check whether you are only receiving ordinary salary plus unused leave, or whether another payout is also involved.
Job ending unexpectedly
Separate leave from notice, redundancy or other termination payments before you estimate the tax impact.
Big final payslip
A large final payslip can look strange because withholding on one pay run is not the same as your final annual outcome.
What to collect first
Hours or days of unused leave
Whether leave loading still applies
Your usual gross pay
Any notice or termination payment
The expected payment date
Whether you also have HELP debt or other deductions
Simple example
A “big final payslip” does not always mean your final annual tax is big.
Payroll withholding on one final pay run can look harsh. That is why it helps to separate ordinary pay, leave payout and the full-year tax position before you panic about the number in your bank account.
