What is and is not different in VIC
The Victorian Government does not take anything out of your pay. The calculator uses the national income tax rates, Medicare levy, HECS-HELP thresholds and super guarantee, which are identical in Melbourne, Brisbane and Hobart. Victoria’s differences sit around your pay rather than in it:
- 14 public holidays in 2026–27, including two found only in Victoria: the Friday before the AFL Grand Final and Melbourne Cup Day.
- No replacement holiday when Anzac Day falls on a weekend, as it does in April 2027.
- Long service leave that can be taken after 7 years with one employer, sooner than the 10 years needed in NSW and Queensland.
- Payroll tax paid by employers at 4.85% on wages above $1,000,000 a year.
- Public servants’ pay under the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2024.
The federal rates the calculator uses are on the tax rates page.

VIC long service leave
Under the Long Service Leave Act 2018, most Victorian workers qualify for long service leave after 7 years of continuous work with one employer, whether full-time, part-time, casual, seasonal or fixed term.
Leave builds up at one week for every 60 weeks of continuous service, about 0.87 weeks a year, so 7 years earns roughly 6.1 weeks.

Earnings in VIC: Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo
Full-time adults in Victoria earned an average of $2,041.10 a week in ordinary time in May 2026, compared with $2,083.70 nationally. Over a year that is $106,137, which leaves $81,973.36 after tax in 2026–27.
| Persons | Males | Females | |

The ABS does not publish average weekly earnings for individual cities. The closest official local figure is median weekly personal income from the 2021 Census. It covers everyone aged 15 and over, including people who are not working, so it is much lower than full-time earnings and is best used to compare areas with each other.
| Area (ABS region) | Median weekly income |
|---|---|
| Melbourne (Greater Melbourne) | $841 |
| Geelong | $787 |
| Ballarat | $705 |
| Bendigo | $729 |
| Victoria | $803 |
| Australia | $805 |

Frequently asked questions
Is income tax different in VIC?
No. Victoria does not have its own income tax; residents pay the same federal rates, Medicare levy and HECS-HELP repayments as the rest of Australia. A $80,000 salary leaves $64,200.00 after tax in 2026–27 in Victoria, exactly as in any other state.
Does payroll tax come out of my pay?
No. Victorian payroll tax is paid by employers on their total wages bill, not taken from employees. Per State Revenue Office Victoria, the rate is 4.85% above a $1,000,000 annual threshold, with the threshold reduced for larger employers. Your payslip and take-home pay are unaffected.
