How is tax calculated in Australia?

Tax in Australia is calculated using marginal tax rates, meaning different portions of your income are taxed at different rates. The ATO applies PAYG withholding for employees based on expected annual earnings.

Does this calculator include superannuation?

Yes, it estimates your employer’s Superannuation Guarantee contributions based on the current super rate.
