Tax Variation when comparing to Tax Tables

There is a difference between what WageEasy has taxed and the tax tables

Updated yesterday

Within WageEasy, there may be a rounding variance when you have any Tax Table: paired with a 02 STSL Only (2025-26) used in Secondary Tax.

The variance can be up to $1 per week.

The Australian Taxation Office have advised that this is acceptable within the formulas that are used.

Please see attached link that allows you to look at the Statement of formulas

Note: To overcome an employee being undertaxed at the end of the Financial Year, you have 2 options that can assist.


Option 1
When setting up your employee's tax,
Go to Employee, Tax, Tax Table:
Select 02 With General Exemption + STSL (2025-26)
Leaving Secondary Tax: blank (this will not cause a variance)

Option 2
When setting up your employee's tax, you can use the adjustment function.
Go to Employee, Tax, Adjustment
Enter an agreed dollar amount to the Adjustment box, this will add extra PAYG to compensate for the variance.

When looking at the payslip, the Total Tax is the inflated amount, with brackets (including 0.00 adjustment) with the specified amount
