These percentiles rank taxable income — what's left after deductions — so if you enter your gross salary, treat your position as a close guide rather than an exact rank. The population is the 13.2 million people who actually paid net tax; another ~3 million lodged a return but paid none. Figures come from 2023–24 tax returns, the most recent published.
