Leave the threshold off and $111 more is withheld each week. No HELP comes out at this level, because $900 a week sits under the Schedule 8 starting point. These come from the [ATO Schedule 1 coefficients](https://www.ato.gov.au/tax-rates-and-codes/payg-withholding-schedule-1-statement-of-formulas-for-calculating-amounts-to-be-withheld/coefficients-to-use-in-formulas-for-withholding-from-weekly-payments).
