Your family MLS surcharge threshold – work it out

To work out the correct family surcharge threshold for your family, use one of the options below:

If you have up to 6 dependent children, use the reference list below:

• No dependent children, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $180,000
• 1 dependent child, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $180,000
• 2 dependent children, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $181,500
• 3 dependent children, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $183,000
• 4 dependent children, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $184,500
• 5 dependent children, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $186,000
• 6 dependent children, the family MLS surcharge threshold is $187,500.

If you have 7 or more dependent children, use the following method to calculate the family MLS surcharge threshold:

• The number of dependent children in your family less one
• Multiply by $1,500
• Add to base family MLS surcharge threshold of $180,000.
