Why this site exists
Most calculator sites online exist to collect your email address or push you toward a paid product. Clearcut Calculators exists to do one thing: take the numbers you already have — your salary, your years of service, your gain on an asset — and show you the result the ATO would arrive at, instantly and without an account.
The site is run independently, not by an accounting firm or a fintech company. It's built and maintained by one person, using publicly available figures from the Australian Taxation Office and the Fair Work Ombudsman.
What you'll find here
Calculators for the situations people actually search for: income tax and take-home pay, redundancy payouts, capital gains tax, and leave loading. Alongside the calculators, there are plain-English guides that explain how each calculation actually works, for anyone who wants the detail rather than just the number.
Accuracy and limitations
Every figure used in these calculators — tax brackets, Medicare levy thresholds, redundancy tax-free limits, ETP caps — is checked directly against ATO and Fair Work publications and updated each financial year. That said, this site is not a substitute for advice from a registered tax agent or financial adviser, and results are estimates only. Individual circumstances (multiple employers, HECS/HELP debt, private health insurance, awards and enterprise agreements) can change your actual outcome.
