What to know at this income level

At $80,000 to $120,000 you are well into the 30% bracket with LITO fully phased out. HELP repayments are active and increasing, and your employer super contributions are building meaningful balances. This is the income range where salary sacrifice into super starts producing real tax savings — because every dollar sacrificed is taxed at 15% inside super instead of 30% (plus 2% Medicare levy) in your hands. The Medicare Levy Surcharge also enters the picture toward the top of this range if you do not hold private hospital cover.

Salary sacrifice into super

Salary sacrifice converts pre-tax salary into super contributions taxed at 15% instead of your 32% marginal rate (30% + 2% Medicare). The concessional cap is $30,000 total (employer + sacrifice). Even $200/fortnight sacrifice saves meaningful tax. Use calculator →

Private health insurance decision

The Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) starts at $101,000 for singles (or $202,000 for families). If you are approaching this threshold, compare the cost of basic hospital cover against the 1% MLS — hospital cover is often cheaper. Use calculator →

HELP repayment rates climb

Under the 2025-26 marginal system, HELP repayments on $100k are about $4,950 (15% on the $33,000 above $67,000). This is lower than the old flat-rate system would have charged. Factor HELP into your cashflow — it comes off your tax refund or increases withholding. Use calculator →
