Current '14th birthday present' arrangements for sole parents.

My attempt to show the $ impact of tax-transfer related changes for a sole parent over the course of the current government.

Compared to the Windows version, Excel for Mac has just enough missing features to be annoying ☹️

An update to my 1, 5 & 10 year series. This for a 3 child couple. Still looks nasty.

Apologies for ugly chart. A quick'n dirty go at the new HECS repayment arrangements for a renting couple. Looks like a roughly $4K range where EMTR is 107%. Would be worsened by ad hoc rent assistance increases. Also, first go, I could be mistaken 😁

EMTRs under new HELP/HECS debt repayment system, as passed by Parl today. First pic is at 30 June (old scheme), second is from 1 July (new). Third pic is net $ gain under new system.

Similar result. Nice to have something to compare output with.

I hadn't taken this one for a run for a couple of years: Almost $7K range with EMTR >100% Appears one needs to earn extra $32,500 just to get disp inc back to where it was when earning $47,500. Magnificent stuff.

Austudy's design (?) gives some earners a choice about how much to earn to get a given disposable income. Eg, to get a disposable income of $50K they can earn either $36.7K or $67.5K. Two different ways of showing this in chart form

1, 5 & 10 year change in disposable income for single income couple, 3 young children. 5 year case looks extra wild because it's showing the loss of the COVID supplement.
