Part-Time Pay Calculator

Part-time hours and tax

Part-time employees use exactly the same tax brackets as full-time employees. What changes is your annual income: fewer hours mean a lower yearly total, and because Australian tax brackets are progressive, a lower total can also mean a smaller share of your pay going to tax.

How this calculator works

Enter your hourly or weekly pay and your usual hours, and the calculator works out your yearly income, tax, Medicare levy and super. Unlike casual work there is no loading on top of the hourly rate; part-time staff receive paid leave on a pro-rata basis instead.

If you are weighing a part-time offer against casual work, check both calculators. The hourly rates for the same role are often different, because casual loading trades paid leave for a higher rate.

One income at a time

This tab models a single job. If you hold two, the tax system does not give each one its own start from zero; tax is worked out on the year's combined total, so the honest way to see your position is to enter both incomes added together. Run the jobs separately and the result will flatter you, because each run pretends the other income does not exist.

The calculator also takes your rate at its word. It does not know your award, so it cannot say whether the rate is right, and it does not add penalty or weekend loadings on top. If your hourly figure already carries a casual loading, the casual tab is built for exactly that shape of pay.
