HECS-HELP repayment on $105,000 under the marginal system
A HECS-HELP debt takes $5,321 from $105,000 in 2026-27, so take-home pay drops to $75,559 from $80,880. It's worked out only on income above the $69,528 threshold. Salary sacrifice doesn't reduce it, because reportable super counts toward repayment income.
Medicare levy surcharge at $105,000 without hospital cover
$105,000 is the top of the 2026-27 base tier for singles, so no surcharge applies. One more dollar of income for MLS purposes would bring a 1% surcharge on the whole amount, about $1,050, for anyone without appropriate hospital cover. Income for MLS purposes includes reportable fringe benefits and reportable super, so salary packaging can push you over.
