GP billings & income calculator
Estimate an Australian GP's annual Medicare billings, the practice service-fee split, and after-tax take-home — built from how you actually work: consult length, your bulk-billed vs privately-billed mix, rurality, in-consult procedures, skin-procedure days and nursing-home rounds. Every dollar figure is an editable, indicative default — set them to your own item values.
Indicative only, and general information — not personal financial, tax or billing advice. MBS rebates change every July and item rules change (the chronic-disease management items were restructured on 1 July 2025), so confirm current item numbers and fees on MBS Online and incentive amounts with Services Australia / DoHAC. Edit any rate below to match what you actually bill.
Interactive Australian GP billings estimator: consult length sets both patient volume and the item billed, bulk-billed vs private split, location-scaled incentive, slider-driven procedure, skin, aged-care and chronic-disease items with below/average/above presets scaled to hours worked, and a basic after-tax take-home.

In-consult procedure items — per week

Spirometry (11506)1
Cryotherapy (30192)3
Skin biopsy (30071/2)1
Implant / IUD (14206/35503)0
Presets scale to your consulting hours. Model only services you bill — pathology & imaging are the lab's/radiologist's, and iron infusion is a long consult (no procedure item).
Skin-procedure day — per day
Benign excisions (31xxx)4
Malignant excisions2
Biopsies (per episode)2
Cryo / curette3
Wound repairs (30026-52)1
Flaps / grafts (45xxx)0
A procedure day is the excisions you've booked from earlier consults — so there's no separate skin-check fee per patient here (that was billed at the original consult). Set skin-procedure days/week up in "Your week". Excision fees vary by lesion type, size & site; biopsy is per episode; histopathology is the lab's bill.
Residential aged care (nursing home)
Facility visits / week0
Residents seen / visit8
Travel min / visit (each way)30
Each visit pays a per-resident fee + a once-per-visit flag-fall; residents are nearly all bulk-billed concession, so the incentive applies to every attendance. GPACI is a MyMedicare-gated grant paid to you (verify DoHAC). Unpaid travel is counted in the nursing-home $/hour below.
Chronic disease & assessments — per week
Chronic condition plan — prepare2
Chronic condition plan — review2
Health assessments (701-715)1
Mental health plans (2715)1
Chronic condition management plans (prepare + review, fee-equalised) replaced GPMP 721 / TCA 723 / review 732 on 1 July 2025 — verify on MBS Online.
Other income — DVA / WorkCover / reports / after-hours / rural & teaching (optional)
WIP, teaching and reports are paid to you outside the practice service-fee split. Scheme/DVA rates are state-specific — set your own.

Take-home / year by average consult length — everything else held constant
Shorter consults = more patients but lower item; crossing 20/40 min lifts you into Level C/D (much higher rebate). Item level is set by time AND the clinical content you actually deliver.
