Calculates the annual take home pay for a given salary in Australia.
Not required for completing the standard challenge.
For the purposes of this test use the following tax brackets:
| Taxample Income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 - $18,200 | 0% |
| $18,201 - $37,000 | 19% |
| $37,001 - $87,000 | 32.5% |
| $87,001 - $180,000 | 37% |
| Over $180,000 | 45% |
The Australian tax rules specify that only whole dollars be taxed, e.g. $87,000.50 is taxed as $87,000.00.
In addition to basic income tax please also apply the medicare levy using the rules.
| Taxample Income | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $21,336 | 0% |
| $21,336 to $26,668 | 10% of amount over $21,336 |
| Over $26,668 | 2% |
The medicare levey surcharge can be ignored as the rules for whether or not it applies are beyond the scope of this excersise.
Superannuation should be calculated as 9.5% on top of the base salary and rounded to the nearest cent.
Rounding
- The ATO have a crazy rule where values above
0.159are rounded up. - Medicare levy is rounded to the nearest cent.
