Why the marginal column jumps by more than the tax table suggests

The income tax scale tops out at 45%. Add the 2% Medicare levy and the 10% HELP cap and the effective marginal rate on the next dollar reaches 57%. Between $69,528 and $129,717, the HELP layer adds another 15 points on top of the 30% band and the levy, which is why the column jumps in steps rather than following the tax table directly.

What changes between these rows, and what does not

Variable	Changes the answer?	Detail
State or territory	No	Payroll tax is employer-side; employee income tax is federal.
Salary level	Yes	Moves you through the 15 / 30 / 37 / 45 bands and the HELP tiers.
HELP debt	Yes	Up to 10% of repayment income once above $186,050.
Private hospital cover	Yes, above $105,000	Without cover, 1% to 1.5% surcharge on taxable income.
Salary sacrifice	Yes	Lowers taxable income up to the $32,500 concessional cap; super is unaffected.
Visa status	Yes	Working holiday makers pay 15% from the first dollar to $45,000; foreign residents pay 30% with no tax-free threshold.

Figures assume a single resident with no dependants, no deductions and standard Medicare entitlement. Educational use only, not tax advice.
