Business Tax Calculator: Work Out What Revenue Your Business Needs

As a business owner, the real question isn’t “how much tax will I pay?” — it’s “what does my business need to earn for me to take home what I want?” This calculator works backwards from your desired income to show the revenue milestone your business needs to hit.

Adjust the inputs to match your structure (sole trader or company), your target income, and your business’s profit margin. The breakdown shows exactly where every dollar goes — from revenue to take-home pay — using 2025–26 ATO tax rates including LITO and Medicare levy.

Want a personalised tax plan for your business?

The calculator gives you a benchmark. The real savings come from the right structure — using a family trust, a bucket company, or a holding entity to legally reduce what you pay. Pinnacle Accounting & Advisory specialises in exactly this for established Melbourne business owners.

That structural work sits inside our business advisory in Melbourne service rather than being bolted on at tax time, and the quickest way to see what it is worth in your own numbers is a tax planning review. If you are weighing up whether your current accountant is doing this for you, our guide to working with a proactive business accountant in Melbourne sets out the difference.

General advice disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates based on 2025–26 Australian tax rates. It is not financial or tax advice. Results are indicative only and do not account for your specific deductions, offsets, or entity-level tax obligations. Speak with a qualified tax advisor before making financial decisions.
