Questions these calculators answer

Do I need to register for GST?
You must register if your annual turnover is $75,000 or more ($150,000 for non-profits), or if you provide taxi/ride-sharing services regardless of turnover. You can voluntarily register below these thresholds. Registration is through the ATO via your ABN. Open the GST Calculator
What do I need to apply for a business loan?
Lenders commonly ask for BAS statements, tax returns, a recent profit and loss statement and balance sheet, business bank statements, your ABN and, for a new business, a business plan. Requirements vary by lender. Open the Business Loan Calculator
What are fixed vs variable costs?
Fixed costs stay the same regardless of sales volume: rent, salaries, insurance, loan repayments, software subscriptions. Variable costs change with each sale: raw materials, packaging, shipping, sales commissions, payment processing fees. Some costs are semi-variable (e.g., electricity: a base amount plus usage). Open the Break Even Calculator
What payment terms should I use?
Common choices are 7, 14 or 30 days for business clients, payment on receipt for consumers, and progress payments for large projects. Whatever the terms, state them on the quote and invoice. Under the Payment Times Reporting Scheme, large businesses report how quickly they pay small business suppliers. Open the Invoice Payment Calculator
