If you know your take-home pay but need to state your gross income on a loan application, this is the calculator for that. Our income gross up calculator works backward from your net pay to estimate the gross salary behind it.
Enter your regular take-home pay and pay frequency. The calculator adds back income tax, the Medicare levy, and any HECS/HELP repayments to estimate the gross salary behind that figure, the reverse of a standard pay calculation. This gross figure is generally what lenders ask for when assessing borrowing power, since take-home pay alone doesn’t give a consistent basis for comparison across different tax and deduction situations.
Keep in mind this is an estimate: things like salary packaging or multiple income sources can affect accuracy, so your payslip or tax return remains the most reliable source if you need an exact number.
Questions people usually ask about grossing up their income.
A tool that estimates your gross (before-tax) salary based on your net (take-home) pay by adding back tax, the Medicare levy, and other relevant deductions.
A net to gross salary calculator starts with your take-home pay and works out your gross salary. A gross to net calculator does the opposite, starting with gross salary to show what you’d actually take home.
Lenders assess borrowing power based on gross income, not take-home pay, since it’s a more standard figure for comparing serviceability across different tax situations and deduction types.
Yes, arrangements like a novated lease reduce your taxable income in a way that can make a simple net-to-gross estimate less accurate. It’s worth mentioning any salary packaging to your broker directly.
No, Income Annualisation converts irregular or part-year income into an annual figure. This calculator converts net pay into an equivalent gross figure. They solve different problems and can be used together.
Some lenders gross up certain non-taxable income, like some government payments, to a taxable-equivalent figure when assessing serviceability. The specifics vary by lender, so it’s worth checking with a broker if this applies to you.
It’s a reasonable estimate for straightforward pay situations, but less precise if you have salary packaging, multiple income sources, or irregular pay. Your payslip or tax return remains the most accurate source.
Our brokers can help translate your take-home pay into the gross figure lenders need, and factor in salary packaging or other income types your lender might assess differently.
