Free Australian workplace calculators built for accuracy

WorkCalc Australia provides a suite of 19 free workplace calculators for employees, payroll teams, bookkeepers, HR managers and small business owners. Every tool is built to Fair Work and ATO standards, calibrated to current Australian law, and updated as the rules change — including the legislated Stage 3+ tax cuts taking effect on 1 July 2026.

Australian workplace law is built around three main frameworks: the National Employment Standards (NES) from the Fair Work Act 2009 covering leave and core entitlements; modern awards and enterprise agreements which add industry-specific rules on top of the NES; and ATO tax tables (Schedule 1, NAT 1004) which govern PAYG withholding. Every WorkCalc calculator implements the published formulas from these instruments — not interpretations, not rules-of-thumb.

The WorkCalc principle: if it's in the Fair Work or ATO formulas, it's in our calculator. If it requires personal tax advice or contract interpretation, we flag it rather than guess.

What's changing for Australian workplace pay in 2026–27

  • Stage 3+ tax cut takes effect 1 July 2026. The second bracket (income $18,201–$45,000) drops from 16% to 15%. Every taxpayer above $18,200 saves up to $268/year.
  • Minimum wage rises to $26.44/hr ($1,004.90/week) — a 6% increase, the first weekly minimum above $1,000.
  • Superannuation Guarantee stays at 12% — the SG phase-up reached its permanent rate on 1 July 2025.
  • Pay day super requires super contributions paid at the same time as wages from 1 July 2026.
  • Paid Parental Leave reaches 26 weeks (130 days) from 1 July 2026 — the final stage of a staged expansion since 2011.
  • Genuine redundancy tax-free limit for 2025–26: $13,100 base + $6,552 per completed year of service, ETP cap $260,000.

Yes. Tax calculators cover both FY 2025–26 and FY 2026–27, including the Stage 3+ tax cut (second bracket drops from 16% to 15% on 1 July 2026). The minimum wage calculator reflects the new $26.44/hr rate from 1 July 2026. The Paid Parental Leave Calculator reflects the new 130-day, 26-week entitlement effective 1 July 2026. ATO genuine redundancy thresholds use the confirmed 2025–26 figures ($13,100 + $6,552/yr).

Are these official Fair Work or ATO tools?

No — WorkCalc is an independent provider. The calculators use the same published formulas as Fair Work and the ATO, but are not official government tools. For binding outcomes, consult the Fair Work Ombudsman, the ATO, or a qualified professional.

Does WorkCalc store my inputs or personal information?

No. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No income, salary, employment dates or any other input is sent to a server. No login or email is required.

How much is the minimum wage in Australia in 2026?

From 1 July 2026: $26.44 per hour or $1,004.90 per week for a 38-hour week — a 6% increase set by the Fair Work Commission's 2026 Annual Wage Review. Use the Minimum Wage Calculator to see the rate at any hours and frequency.

How much redundancy pay am I entitled to?

Under the NES: 4 weeks pay for 1–2 years service, rising to a peak of 16 weeks at 9–10 years, then dropping to 12 weeks for 10+ years. Calculated on base weekly pay only (not overtime or bonuses). For genuine redundancy, a tax-free amount applies: $13,100 + $6,552 per completed year of service (2025–26). Use the Redundancy Pay Calculator for your exact figure.

Which states do the long service leave and public holiday calculations cover?

All eight: NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT — each with their own qualifying period, accrual rate and pro-rata rules for long service leave, and their own verified public holiday dates for 2026 and 2027. The Long Service Leave Calculator selects the correct legislation for your state automatically.

How much is Paid Parental Leave in 2026?

For children born or adopted from 1 July 2026, up to 130 days (26 weeks) at $1,004.70 per week before tax — approximately $26,122 total, plus a 12% superannuation contribution. Use the Paid Parental Leave Calculator for your exact entitlement.
