Estimate the compulsory annual study or training loan repayment (HELP, HECS, VSL, SFSS, SSL, AASL) for an Australian resident from their repayment income, using the marginal system introduced in 2025-26 with effective-dated thresholds that roll over each financial year. Use it for "how much HELP/HECS will I repay" questions in AU; it does not cover the loan balance, indexation or voluntary repayments, and applies to Australia only. Repayment income is broader than taxable income — it adds back reportable super contributions, reportable fringe benefits, net investment loss and exempt foreign income; pass that combined figure.
