Tax calculators
Every figure here runs on the same rate book our workpaper engine reads, so a calculator and a delivered workbook cannot quote you different numbers. Current year is FY2026-27; earlier years have their own page.
Calculators

Also free: turn a statement into a spreadsheet
Sift reads an Australian bank statement or a tabular PDF and gives you back an .xlsx or .csv with the amounts as real, sum-able numbers rather than text. No sign-up, nothing to install, and a digital PDF never leaves your browser — the parsing runs on your own machine.
Why these are free
They are the same arithmetic our software does on the way to a workpaper — the part that is a lookup, not a judgement. The judgement is what a tax agent is for, and what BeforeMay is built to hand them a checkable draft of.
