The ATO weekly tax table 2026–27 (NAT 1005)

The ATO publishes the weekly tax table as NAT 1005, and the 2026–27 version applies to payments made from 1 July 2026. It covers wages, salaries, allowances, leave loading, paid parental leave, directors' fees and similar payments made weekly. It is also used for foreign residents. Working holiday makers are taxed under Schedule 15 instead.

Searching for a "weekly tax table PDF"? The ATO's NAT 1005 page links to a printable PDF lookup table and an Excel withholding lookup tool. Both give the same amounts as the Schedule 1 formulas this calculator uses. Column 2 is for payees claiming the tax-free threshold and column 3 for those who are not.

The weekly tax table from 2025 (the one used for 2025–26 pays) has been replaced. Its coefficients applied from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2026. Use it only to check pays made in that period. The 2026–27 cut to the second tax rate lowers weekly withholding at most pay levels. For example, $1,000 a week now has $138 withheld, down from $143.

How to read the weekly tax table, step by step

The ATO gives employers this order of steps. It is also how you can check your own payslip:

  • Add up this week's earnings, including allowances and any irregular amounts paid with this pay, and ignore the cents.
  • Find that amount in the table and read column 2 (tax-free threshold claimed) or column 3 (not claimed).
  • Subtract any tax offset you have claimed through a withholding declaration. The ATO's ready reckoner turns an annual offset into a weekly value.
  • Subtract any Medicare levy adjustment, using the Medicare levy adjustment weekly tax table.
  • Add the study and training support loan amount if you have a HELP, VSL, FS, SSL or AASL debt.

Weekly tax for casual and hospitality workers

Weekly withholding is worked out separately for each pay. The table treats every week as if you will earn that amount all year. Rosters that change from week to week, which are common in hospitality, retail and labour hire, therefore tend to be over-taxed, not under-taxed.

Worked example (2026–27, threshold claimed): a $600 week has $42 withheld and a $1,400 week has $267, a total of $309. Two steady $1,000 weeks earn the same money but have only $276 withheld. The $33 difference is not lost. It counts as tax already paid and usually comes back as part of your refund.

Holiday pay and leave loading paid while you keep working are added to that week's earnings. If leave loading is paid as a lump sum, the employer uses Schedule 5. People engaged and paid by the day have their own table, the tax table for daily and casual workers (NAT 1024).

The 53-pay year: when weekly withholding falls short

The weekly tax table assumes 52 pays a year. 2026–27 runs from Wednesday 1 July 2026 to Wednesday 30 June 2027, 365 days, so an employer whose payday is a Wednesday makes 53 weekly pays this year. The extra pay adds a week of income, but the table still withholds as if there were 52 pays, so the year's withholding can fall a little short of your tax.

The ATO tells employers to warn staff in a 53-pay year. If you are worried about a shortfall, you can ask your employer to withhold this extra amount from every weekly pay:

Weekly earningsExtra withholding per week
$875 to $2,574$3
$2,575 to $3,649$7
$3,650 and over$12

Frequently asked questions

How much tax do I pay per week in Australia?

It depends on your pay and whether you claimed the tax-free threshold. The table above shows ATO withholding at common weekly amounts for 2026–27.

Where can I download the weekly tax table PDF?

On the ATO's "Weekly tax table" page (NAT 1005), under the instructions for using the table. The page applies to payments from 1 July 2026 and also links to an Excel withholding lookup tool.

Why is more tax taken from my pay in a big week?

Each week is taxed as if you earned that amount every week of the year, so a high week is withheld at a higher rate. Over the year the extra is credited against your tax and usually comes back at tax time.

Is the 2025 weekly tax table still valid?

Only for pays made before 1 July 2026. Pays made from that date use the 2026–27 coefficients, which reflect the lower 15% rate.

What do column 2 and column 3 mean in the weekly tax table?

Column 2 applies when you have claimed the tax-free threshold from that employer. Column 3 applies when you have not, which usually means a second job.
