1. What is This Calculator?

This calculator helps determine your in-hand salary in Australia by subtracting income tax and Medicare levy from your gross salary. Note: The mention of "7th Pay Commission" is likely a typo as this commission applies to Indian government employees, not Australia.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Salary \) — Your total annual salary before deductions (AUD)
• \( Income\ Tax \) — Total annual income tax payable (AUD)
• \( Medicare\ Levy \) — Annual Medicare levy (AUD)

3. Understanding Australian Salary Components

Gross Salary: Your total earnings before any deductions.
Income Tax: Progressive tax based on your income bracket.
Medicare Levy: 2% of taxable income to fund Australia's public health system.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your gross annual salary in AUD, estimated annual income tax, and Medicare levy. All values must be positive numbers.
