Tax Withheld Calculations:
​
Here are the scales according to which tax withheld is calculated for gross income equivalent to these weekly amounts. Apart from the tax-free threshold, there are other tax offsets that can be selected specifically for the employee. Tax withheld for the employee for every pay run varies based on all of these offsets together.
​

Scales 1 and 2 differentiate tax amounts to be withheld for employees without and with tax-free threshold checked, respectively. Further on the total tax amount withheld (Y) is dependent on the employee's gross income (X) based on the formula Y = aX-b.
