Quick answers
Is super taken out of my pay?
No, unless your contract says your salary includes super. Your employer pays 12% on top of your salary into your super fund.
What changed on 1 July 2026?
The rate on income between $18,201 and $45,000 went down from 16% to 15%.
Why is my payslip a little different?
Employers withhold tax each payday using the ATO tables. This is a yearly estimate, so a payslip can be a few dollars off.
