Use our tax cut calculator to find out what the 2019 Budget will mean for your hip pocket

The Coalition is throwing a few pre-election sweeteners in the direction of low- to middle-income earners, by doubling the tax cuts they will receive the next time they file a tax return.

Last year, the Government announced it would give people earning up to $90,000 an instant tax cut of up to $530.

That will now be more than doubled to $1,080 for singles, and increase up to $2,160 for double-income families.

The tax offsets start to flatten out for people earning between $90,000 and $126,000.

The Government is also promising to reduce the 32.5 per cent tax rate to 30 per cent by July 2024, which will impact around 70 per cent of the nation's taxpayers.

Find out how much better off you could be with our calculator.
