The calculator uses the standard Home Affairs partner visa charges shown in the current pricing table when checked on 20 August 2026: $11,710 for the main applicant, $5,860 for each additional applicant aged 18 or over and $2,935 for each additional applicant under 18. For the Partner + Visitor Visa package, it retrieves the current subclass 600 Tourist stream charge for applications made outside Australia and multiplies it by the number of Visitor Visa applicants. Lower charges, onshore charges, subsequent temporary application charges or concessions may apply in some circumstances.
