Description
-----------
The Australian Pay Calculator is for employees 
and small employers to calculate wages & income tax
instalment deductions from weekly, fortnightly,
and monthly payments.

The programme consists of two calculators :

1. The Tax from Gross Calculator...
   Calculates the "Tax amount" and "Net Amount", when 
   the "Gross amount" is already known.

2. The TimeSheet...
   Calculates the Gross, Net and Tax amounts from 
   hours worked, allowances, overtime, penalty rates
   and Medicare variations.

The Australian Pay Calculator can calculate
PAYE tax instalment deductions when an employee :

-  Has claimed the Tax free threshold.
-  Has not claimed the tax free threshold.
-  Has not given a Tax File number to the employer.
-  Is a Non Resident.
-  Is not eligible for leave loading.
-  Has a HECS debt (Accumulated Higher Education
   Contribution Scheme Debt).

The calculator will also take into account Zone Rebates 
and Family Tax Assistance deductions. In addition,
if the employee has submitted a Medicare Levy 
Variation the calculator can calculate :

-  Variations from spouse only, to up to five children.
-  Full Exemption to the Medicare Levy
-  Half Exemption to the Medicare Levy

The PAYE Tax Calculator will calculate any allowable
combination of the above options.
