By using your income data and the amount of tax withheld over the past financial year, we can roughly calculate tax return amounts.
However, this does not account for deductions that our tax experts may find to increase your tax refund.
Legally, employers need to provide their employees with their income information. The amounts required for the calculation should be visible on your payslip.
The tax return calculator also takes into account the rate of income tax you will need to pay
To calculate the amount due, we simply subtract the total income tax from the tax withheld for the given financial year. Simply put, if the tax withheld is greater than your total income tax, you should be due a tax refund.
Filing Status
This refers to whether you file as single, married but filing separately, or married and filing jointly and affects how much tax you pay based on the different tax brackets as well as whether there are any reliefs available.
Tax credits
These reduce your tax liability and can be received on your last tax bill. Conditions where you may receive a tax credit include when you enrol in a government insurance plan, if you are paying for post-secondary education, and childcare expenses.
The most effective way to get the most out of your tax return is to claim tax deductions.
Common deductions include:
However, it is worth noting that not all donations or gifts can be deducted from your tax liability. For example, raffle tickets, items, or food cannot be claimed as you receive a benefit from the donation.
Although you should claim all the expenses you can, not all expenses are claimable. Our team of expert tax agents work hard to ensure that you are receiving every deduction possible to lower your tax liability and maximise your tax refund.
The calculator is only as accurate as the input data and does not take into account any deductions, tax rebates, or offsets. To get a more accurate estimate, get in touch with one of our expert tax agents today.

You cannot claim the tax-free threshold from a second source of income in any one financial year. So people who have a second job may get refunded a lesser amount.
To get an idea of how much tax you might pay and how this works with multiple jobs, read our blog: How Much Do You Get Taxed on a Second Job?
Yes, you need receipts (or diary evidence or a log book, etc.) to prove you incurred the expense. An accountant will discuss this with you, as you may be able to claim expenses up to a certain limit without receipts.
To learn more about your possible no-receipt tax deductions, you can read our blog: What Can I Claim on Tax Without Receipts?
If you are an Australian resident for tax purposes, the first $18,200 of your yearly income is not taxed. This is called the tax-free threshold. By claiming the threshold, you reduce the amount of tax that is withheld from your pay during the year.
This results in higher upfront income tax but potentially larger year-end refunds.
To learn more, review our blog: What Happens if You Don’t Claim the Tax-Free Threshold?
If you want to change any of the figures in your tax return (for example income or deductions) then ATO allows you to do that within a certain time limit. Just contact us and we will help you run through the procedure.
