Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions to help you use this calculator confidently.

What does this calculator actually calculate?

Tap to view the answer

It converts your pay between formats — hourly, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and annual — using your hourly rate and hours per week, or your annual salary directly. It shows gross pay only; it does not calculate income tax, the Medicare levy, superannuation, or HECS/HELP repayments. For after-tax figures, use our Income Tax Calculator or Take Home Pay Calculator instead.

What is casual loading and how does it change the numbers?

Tap to view the answer

Casual employees receive casual loading — typically 25% on top of the base hourly rate — in exchange for not receiving paid leave entitlements like annual and sick leave. Tick the casual loading option and enter your rate to see the loaded hourly and annual figures; verify the exact percentage against your award or enterprise agreement, since it isn't always exactly 25%.

Is superannuation included in the salary figures shown?

Tap to view the answer

No — this tool shows gross salary only. Your employer separately contributes the Superannuation Guarantee (12% of your ordinary time earnings for 2026) on top of your salary; it isn't a deduction from the figures shown here.

Why does my payslip differ from this calculator's numbers?

Tap to view the answer

This calculator shows base gross pay from your hourly rate or salary. Actual payslips vary due to overtime, weekend or public holiday penalty rates, shift allowances, bonuses, and unpaid leave — and, after tax, HECS/HELP repayments and PAYG withholding — none of which are modeled here.

How do I find my actual take-home pay?

Tap to view the answer

Use this calculator to get your gross annual, fortnightly, or weekly figure, then run that number through our Income Tax Calculator, which applies the 2026-27 tax brackets, Medicare levy, and, optionally, HECS/HELP repayments to show what you actually keep.
