The Australia Medicare Levy Surcharge Calculator estimates surcharge from income, family status, hospital cover, and the tier assumptions in the calculator. It is a planning estimate only.
The surcharge generally depends on income for MLS purposes and whether eligible private hospital cover is held. Thresholds and rates change by tax year, so verify current ATO tables before filing.
Questions
Does this replace the Medicare levy?
No. The surcharge is separate from the base Medicare levy.
Does extras cover avoid MLS?
No. Eligible private hospital cover is the relevant policy type; extras alone may not satisfy the requirement.
Is the result current for every year?
No. Confirm the selected year and current ATO thresholds.
Limitations
Family definitions, exemptions, income components, days without cover, and tax-year changes may alter the final amount.
