What is a tax scenario?
A tax scenario compares two or more situations to help you understand how a decision affects your tax outcome. Rather than just calculating a number, scenarios show you the difference between options — like salary sacrificing vs not, or selling an asset this year vs next year.
How are scenarios different from calculators?
Calculators give you a single result based on your inputs. Scenarios show you side-by-side comparisons so you can weigh up alternatives. They're designed for decision-making, not just number-crunching.
Are these scenarios personalised?
Each scenario starts with example numbers to illustrate the concept. Where interactive tools are available, you can adjust the inputs to match your situation and see how the comparison changes.
