Advanced scenario insights
What changes the real-world result?
Salary packaging
Not added
Add salary sacrifice, reportable super or novated lease deductions to test a packaged-pay scenario.
Tax-time liabilities
$0
No MLS or Division 293 estimate is currently triggered by the inputs.
Household cashflow
$34
Add partner income or child support cashflow to make the result more household-aware.
Next frontier
Centrelink, child support assessments and support-service eligibility use detailed rules beyond a salary calculator. This page now gives the wage, tax and household-cashflow side of the picture, and the support-payment scenario tool should build on these inputs next.

How to use this page well
Start with your hourly rate, then pressure-test the extra hours.
If you do not know the exact award rule, this page is still useful for rough planning. Use your hourly rate, adjust hours per week, and compare the before-and-after annual result.
Best for broad planning
Good for casual and shift scenarios
Check your award separately
Compare extra hours with a flat hourly assumption
Best use cases
Extra shift planning
See whether taking more hours meaningfully changes your weekly or annual result.
Comparing a flatter roster
Check whether more steady hours beat occasional overtime once tax is considered.
Pressure-testing a payslip
Use this as a broad check before you compare it with your real award or enterprise agreement.
Check before you rely on the result
Award or enterprise agreement rate
Whether the extra hours are daily or weekly overtime
Penalty rate timing
Whether leave loading or allowances apply
Your real hourly base rate
Whether HELP debt changes the take-home result
How to use this page
Overtime can look simple until penalty rates, awards and agreements change the maths. This page gives you a safe way to estimate the upside before you rely on it.
Use hourly income for broad overtime planning, then compare the extra hours against your base pay.
This page is careful on purpose. We only show broad planning help here until the more detailed rules are fully supported.
