Calculators for accountants
Client questions that arrive by email — what will this property cost me after tax, what is my tax on this income — can be answered on your site before they reach your inbox.
These calculators use the rates in the Commonwealth legislation and show which version they applied, so the answer is one you can stand behind rather than one you have to check.
How it works in practice
Step 1
A client or prospect works out a tax position on your website.
Step 2
The calculation resolves the rates from the income year they entered, and shows the Act, the schedule and the period.
Step 3
They arrive at the conversation with a number and a question rather than only a question.
Step 4
The call to action goes to your practice — a phone number, an email, or your own booking page.
Tax on a taxable income
Income tax and the Medicare levy, calculated separately because they are imposed by different Acts, for the income year the client selects. Legislated future rates are held as separate rule sets, so a projection into a later year uses that year’s scale rather than today’s.
Income tax calculator
Works out income tax and the Medicare levy on a resident individual’s taxable income, using the statutory rate scale for the income year you choose.
Income annualisation calculator
Converts pay quoted hourly, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly to a yearly figure.
Property, after tax
The negative gearing calculator computes tax twice — with and without the rental loss — rather than multiplying the loss by an assumed marginal rate. That is what makes it correct when the loss crosses a bracket boundary, which is the case clients most often get wrong on their own.
Negative gearing calculator
Works out what an investment property costs after tax, by comparing tax on your income with and without the property’s rental loss.
Rental yield calculator
Works out gross and net rental yield on an investment property, allowing for vacancy and operating costs.
Client education
The marginal-versus-average rate confusion, the belief that a pay rise can leave you worse off, the assumption that a 5% yield returns 5%: each has a calculator that shows the answer rather than asserting it. Embedded on your site, they do the explaining before the meeting.
Income tax calculator
Works out income tax and the Medicare levy on a resident individual’s taxable income, using the statutory rate scale for the income year you choose.
Rental yield calculator
Works out gross and net rental yield on an investment property, allowing for vacancy and operating costs.
Compound interest calculator
Shows how a balance grows over time with regular deposits and compounding interest.
Transaction costs
Duty on acquisition and the costs of sale both affect a client’s position, and both are frequently omitted from the estimate a client brings you.
Property buying costs calculator
Adds transfer duty to your deposit and the other upfront costs, to show the cash you need to complete a purchase.
Property selling costs calculator
Works out what is left after agent commission, marketing, legal fees and repaying the loan.
What you can see, and what nobody can
For each calculator you embed, the dashboard reports widget sessions, calculator starts, completed calculations, call-to-action views and call-to-action clicks. Those are counts of what happened, tracked against an anonymous identifier that lasts for the visit and is never joined to a person.
What is never recorded is what anybody typed. Loan amounts, salaries, property values, deposits, tax results — none of it is sent anywhere or stored anywhere. That is enforced by the architecture rather than by policy, and a release-blocking test fails if a financial field could ever reach the events table.
A “session” is an anonymous identifier for one visit, and it is not a unique person. Two visits from the same browser are two sessions.
The enquiry goes to you
The call to action on a calculator is a destination you configure: a page on your own site, a phone number, or an email address. When somebody clicks it, they go there.
Nothing is collected here. There is no enquiry form on this platform, no lead database, and no third party in between — which also means no visitor’s financial details are ever in a system you did not choose.

An accountant’s visitors ask about tax positions rather than loan products, and the value of the answer depends entirely on whether the rates are right and attributable. Source provenance is the differentiator on these pages.
