Estimate your claim
Estimate your R&D Tax Incentive in two minutes.
A rough number to see if this is worth pursuing. When you are ready, we turn it into a substantiated claim backed by your real GitHub history.
Estimated R&D offset
~$130,500
Based on a 43.5% refundable offset for companies under $20M in turnover. Because this offset is refundable, you can receive it as cash even in a year you made a loss.
[ how the estimate works ]
The rates, in plain English.
43.5%
Under $20M turnover
A refundable offset of about 43.5% of eligible R&D spend: the 25% base rate plus an 18.5pp premium. Paid as cash if you are in a loss.
+ premium
$20M and over
A non-refundable offset at your company tax rate plus an intensity-based premium. It reduces tax payable and can be carried forward.
$20k
Minimum spend
You need at least $20,000 of eligible R&D activity in the year to lodge a claim at all.
Note
A straight word on the number
The 43.5% is the offset rate, not pure profit.
If you are profitable: you would already deduct R&D at the company tax rate, so the real extra benefit is the premium on top, the 18.5 points above the 25% base.
If you are pre-profit: you have no tax to reduce, so the whole refundable offset comes back as cash you would not otherwise receive.
Either way, it is a rough FY2026 estimate to help you decide, not tax advice, and not a calculation of your actual claim.
