Calculate your total final pay when leaving a job. Includes unused annual leave payout with loading, notice period pay, long service leave, and estimated tax on your final payment.
Disclaimer:
This calculator provides estimates based on Fair Work NES minimums. Your award, enterprise agreement, or contract may provide higher entitlements. Tax estimates use your annual salary to approximate the effective rate. For precise calculations, consult your employer's payroll team or a registered tax agent.
Based on Fair Work NES entitlements and ATO tax tables for FY2025-26
Your final pay when leaving a job comprises 5 separate components, each calculated independently. Under the Fair Work Act, your employer must pay all outstanding entitlements within 7 days of your employment ending or on the next regular pay day.
Unused annual leave paid on termination is taxed at your marginal rate for leave accrued after 17 August 1993. Leave accrued before that date is taxed at a maximum rate of 32% (including Medicare). The 17.5% leave loading is also taxable.
For most employees, the leave payout is added to your assessable income for the financial year in which you receive it. If the lump sum pushes you into a higher tax bracket, you may be able to request the ATO to assess it separately. Use the Income Tax Calculator to estimate the bracket impact.
The National Employment Standards set minimum notice periods based on length of service.
| Period of Service | Notice Period |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 year | 1 week |
| 1 to 3 years | 2 weeks |
| 3 to 5 years | 3 weeks |
| 5+ years | 4 weeks |
Employees over 45 with 2+ years of service receive an additional week of notice.
