About Tiering Tables

Calculating an amount based on tiering tables is a pretty complex formula, and is commonly used in pricing models. There are two types of tiering tables. The simplest version calculates the entire amount at the tier. The more complex table, like the tax tiers, is progressive such that the first number of units at the first tier and the next amount at the next price.

For example, in the tax table, an income of $8,000 would be taxed at zero for the first $6,000 and then the next $2,000 is taxed at 15%, so you would only pay $2,000 x 15% = $300, not 15% on the whole amount.

I originally wrote this calculator for the purpose of demonstrating the practical application of using a tiering table in a financial model.  It has been very popular since I published it and I must make the note that the tax brackets have changed again since then! 

Please see the ATO website for the most up to date tax bracket changes and I will update the original calculator soon!
