Credit for interest on early payments calculator

What you can do with this calculator

The credit for interest on early payments calculator will help you calculate your entitlement to a credit for Interest on early payments (IEP) of tax made from 1 July 2013 to 30 September 2024

The results of this calculator are based on the information you provide. You should use these results as an estimate and for guidance purposes only.

In March 2022, we automated the calculation and payment of interest on early payments entitlements for eligible early payments on amounts paid from 1 July 2021. We pay IEP directly to your nominated financial institution account, unless you have an existing tax debt with us.

This calculator doesn’t determine eligibility or calculate your entitlement to a credit for interest on overpayments of tax and delayed refunds. We will automatically calculate these amounts for you.
