  1. Working Hours: Standard 38-hour week (National Employment Standards), with 52 weeks per year, yielding 1,976 working hours annually.
  2. Income Tax: Calculated using ATO progressive marginal tax rates for resident individuals for FY2026-27.
  3. Medicare Levy: 2%, shaded in for low incomes using the 2025-26 low-income thresholds (the latest the ATO has published). Private hospital cover assumed, so no Medicare Levy Surcharge.
