The Formula Explained
The surcharge calculation is based on the following formula:
Surcharge: Income × Surcharge Rate
Glossary of Terms
- Income: Your taxable income, including taxable fringe benefits, total net investment loss, reportable super contributions, and exempt foreign employment income.
- Surcharge Rate: The percentage rate applied based on your income level and insurance status.
- Surcharge: The additional tax applied if you do not have the appropriate private health insurance.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For example, if your income is $90,000 and you do not have private health insurance, your surcharge rate might be 1%. Therefore, the surcharge is calculated as $90,000 × 0.01 = $900.
