See your take-home pay as an international student on a visa
International student tax Australia: if you're on a student visa and a foreign resident for tax, you don't get the tax-free threshold and you don't pay Medicare levy. Use the salary tax calculator with "Non-resident" pre-selected below.
Most international students are foreign residents for tax purposes. This means you don't get the tax-free threshold ($18,200) - tax applies from your first dollar of income.
The benefit is you don't pay the Medicare levy (2%). Your employer withholds tax from each pay using the non-resident rates.
