Frequently asked questions

Does HECS change take-home pay?

Yes. If your repayment income is above the relevant threshold, compulsory study loan repayments can reduce take-home pay.

Is super included in take-home pay?

Employer super is usually paid to your super fund and is shown separately from cash wages.

Is this official tax advice?

No. It is an estimate only. Confirm important decisions with the ATO or a qualified tax professional.

Can I compare with no HECS?

Yes. Use the main calculator and toggle HECS/HELP on or off to compare scenarios.
