- $45,001 – $135,000 — 30c per dollar

At $100,000 the 2026–27 HECS repayment rate is 5.5%, costing $5,500 per year withheld from your income. With HECS, take-home drops to $71,712.
HECS repayments are withheld by your employer alongside regular tax — you don't pay separately. The ATO uses your total taxable income to set the rate for the year. The 2026–27 repayment threshold is $54,435. Use the calculator above and tick "I have a HECS/HELP debt" to see your personalised after-HECS take-home.
Salary sacrifice at $100,000 (2026–27)
Salary sacrifice at $100,000 under 2026–27 rates saves 30c per dollar in income tax — your marginal rate in this bracket. Every $10,000 sacrificed saves $3,000 in income tax and moves that amount into super, taxed at 15% inside the fund instead of 30%.
The annual concessional (pre-tax) cap is $30,000, which includes both your employer's SG contributions and any personal salary sacrifice. Use the "Salary sacrifice" field in the calculator above to model your after-sacrifice take-home.
