From memory minimum wage earners get something like $25 per week, which I know isn't much. Middle income earners ($120k+ combined) get $120 per fortnight back. People earning over $80k don't get any additional cuts.

Their policy specifically states tax cuts for the bottom 3 brackets. I don't know why the calculator isn't showing any cuts for min wage.
