• Couples and single parents can get a family reduction: choose your family situation above.
• The surcharge applies above $105,000 for singles for each day without an appropriate level of hospital cover; this assumes the whole year.
• Medicare levy exemptions (for example, foreign residents don't pay it) and the higher thresholds for seniors and pensioners are not modelled.
