How to calculate the tax implications of your negatively geared property

Calculating the impact of negative gearing on the tax owed by a property investor is complex.

Not only does it involve tallying up all the income and expenses involved with the property,  it also depends on an investor's other taxable income, which would help determine the marginal rate at which they are taxed.

From financial year 2024/25, annual personal income of between $45,000 and $200,000 will be subject to a 30% tax rate. Until then, the nation’s tax brackets will be a little more complex. 

To calculate the impact of negative gearing on your taxable income, you can add up all the eligible expenses incurred in a tax year and subtract any rental income earned, then remove the resulting figure from your taxable income before assessing how much tax you might be liable to pay based on your marginal tax rate.

Or, you could simply plug in the details of your income and your investment property into the calculator above and Savings.com.au will do all the work for you.
