Calculations use 2026-27 Australian resident tax brackets and the 2% Medicare Levy, applying the low-income threshold as a simple cutoff rather than modelling the exact phase-in band. Fortnightly results annualise your entered pay across 26 pay periods; actual PAYG withholding can differ because payroll uses the current ATO withholding tables and your tax-file details. Superannuation Guarantee is shown as an employer contribution on top of salary and is not subtracted from take-home pay. The optional HECS/HELP amount is an annualised estimate. This does not account for the Medicare Levy Surcharge, private health insurance rebates, or other offsets. For precise advice consult a registered tax agent or the ATO.
Permanent median

Contract median
$1,012/day
≈ $222,640 gross a year
At a median $1,012/day, contract work grosses about $222,640 a year over 220 billable days, 77% more than the $126,000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts.
Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See ERP / CRM Developer / Engineer contract rates and contractor take-home →
