Year to date (YTD) income is everything you have earned since 1 July, the start of the Australian financial year, up to your latest payslip. Use this YTD calculator to add up your year-to-date gross pay, or annualise a YTD figure into a projected annual salary and tax estimate.
Updated: July 2026.
YTD stands for year to date. On an Australian payslip, YTD is the running total of everything you have earned and everything that has been withheld since 1 July — the start of the financial year — up to and including that payslip. It is not a calendar-year figure.
Most payroll systems show several YTD columns side by side with your current pay:
If any of these labels look unfamiliar, our guide to understanding your payslip walks through every line item Australian employers are required to show.
To calculate YTD income, multiply your gross pay per period by the number of pays you have received since 1 July. The formula is:
YTD gross = gross pay per period × pays received this financial year
Worked example: Priya earns $2,000 per fortnight and has received 13 fortnightly pays since 1 July. Her YTD gross is 13 × $2,000 = $26,000, exactly half way through the financial year's 26 fortnights.
Annualising converts a part-year YTD figure into a projected full-year income. Lenders, real estate agents, and Centrelink all use annualised income to assess applications, and it is the fastest way to sanity-check whether your employer is withholding the right amount of tax.
Projected annual income = (YTD gross ÷ pays received) × pays per year
Worked example: Tom's payslip shows $39,000 YTD after 26 weekly pays. His average pay is $39,000 ÷ 26 = $1,500 per week, so his projected annual income is $1,500 × 52 = $78,000. Feeding that gross figure into the take-home pay calculator shows exactly what should be left after tax.
There are 52 weekly, 26 fortnightly, or 12 monthly pays in a standard financial year. If your income is irregular — overtime, casual shifts, commissions — annualising from a longer YTD window gives a more reliable projection than multiplying a single big or small pay.
Australian payslips track YTD against the financial year (1 July to 30 June), not the calendar year. Every YTD column on your payslip resets to zero with the first pay after 1 July.
A new financial year has just begun, so payslips issued in July show only one or two pays' worth of YTD income. That catches people out every year — a $2,000 YTD figure in mid-July is exactly on track for a $52,000 year for a fortnightly earner. Use the annualise mode above rather than judging the raw YTD number.
The 30 June cut-off also means your final June payslip is the one that should match your income statement in myGov when your employer finalises Single Touch Payroll data for tax return time.
The table below shows YTD gross income for common weekly pay amounts at each quarter of the financial year (13, 26, 39, and 52 weekly pays).
| Weekly Gross Pay | After 13 weeks | After 26 weeks | After 39 weeks | After 52 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $800 | $10,400 | $20,800 | $31,200 | $41,600 |
| $1,000 | $13,000 | $26,000 | $39,000 | $52,000 |
| $1,500 | $19,500 | $39,000 | $58,500 | $78,000 |
| $2,000 | $26,000 | $52,000 | $78,000 | $104,000 |
| $2,500 | $32,500 | $65,000 | $97,500 | $130,000 |
*The "After 52 weeks" column equals the full-year gross salary. Figures are gross (before tax) amounts.
