Australian Tax Refund Calculator

Estimate your 2026–27 income tax and refund in seconds — using the legislated new rates, Medicare levy, the low income tax offset and HELP repayments. Free, no sign-up.

Salary and other income, before tax. If you know your deductions, use the next field.
Tools, vehicle, home office, donations… every deductible dollar lowers your taxable income.
Leave blank to see your total tax instead of a refund estimate.

Refund smaller than you'd like?

The estimate shows the maths. A CPA finds the missing pieces.

Deductions you didn't know you had, records that unlock them, and planning that happens before June 30 — that's the difference between an estimate and a good outcome. Start with our free 3-minute Money Health Check, or book a conversation.
