How is individual income tax handled in Australia?

Employee income in Australia is taxed gradually, but not on a percentage basis. The amount an employee can expect to pay in annual income tax is as follows:  

 

  • Income up to AUD 18,200 (USD 13,909): Exempt from income taxation  
  • AUD 18,201-45,000 (USD 13,910-34,392): AUD 0.19 (USD 0.15) for each dollar between the lower and upper limits of the income band  
  • AUD 45,000-120,000 (USD 34,392-91,714): AUD 5,092 (USD 3891) + AUD 0.325 (USD 0.25) for each dollar between the lower and upper limits of the income band   
  • AUD 120,000-180,000 (USD 91,714-13,7571): AUD 29,467 (USD 22,521) + AUD 0.37 (USD 0.28) for each dollar between the lower and upper limits of the income band  
  • AUD 180,000+ (USD 137,571+): AUD 51,667 (USD 39,488) + AUD 0.45 (USD 0.34) for each dollar over AUD 180,000 (USD 137,571)
