Personal income tax rates for Australian residents (2018-2019)
There were some changes to personal income tax rates and thresholds in the 2018-2019 Federal Budget compared to 2017-2018.
Notably, the old $87,000 tax threshold has been increased to $90,000; while the amount of tax on incomes for the highest two brackets have changed slightly. See the personal income tax rate tables below.
| Taxable income | Tax on this income |
|---|---|
| 0 – $18,200 | Nil |
| $18,201 – $37,000 | 19c for each $1 over $18,200 |
| $37,001 – $90,000 | $3,572 plus 32.5c for each $1 over $37,000 |
| $90,001 – $180,000 | $20,797 plus 37c for each $1 over $90,000 |
| $180,001 and over | $54,097 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000 |
Note: This table does not include the Medicare Levy (currently 2%) or the effect of any Low Income Tax Offset (LITO). The rates apply to Australian resident individual tax payers only. Different rates apply to foreign/non-resident individuals, including Working Holiday Makers.
