Next year: 2027–28
The tax rate on income between $18,201 and $45,000 is legislated to fall from 15% to 14% on 1 July 2027. Full-time at $33 an hour, that lifts your take-home pay to $1,040.60 a week, $5.15 more than now, assuming your rate and the other thresholds stay the same.
$33 an hour is 25% above the National Minimum Wage of $26.44 an hour that applies from 1 July 2026. If you're casual, your rate usually includes a 25% loading, so the base rate behind $33 is about $26.40. See the minimum wage in Australia for weekly, yearly and casual rates.
