Superannuation Breakdown
About the Australian Superannuation Calculator
Superannuation is a cornerstone of the Australian retirement system, requiring employers to contribute a percentage of an employee's earnings into a super fund. The Australian Superannuation Guarantee Calculator helps employees, independent contractors, and business owners instantly determine the exact minimum super contribution required by law.
Whether you are checking your payslip, negotiating a new job offer in Sydney or Melbourne, or running payroll for a small business, our free online tool uses the current Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate to ensure total financial compliance without manual calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate?
As of July 1, 2024, the mandatory Superannuation Guarantee rate that employers must pay is 11.5% of an employee's ordinary time earnings (OTE). It is scheduled to increase to 12% on July 1, 2025.
Does super come out of my salary?
It depends on your contract. If your salary is listed as "$80k plus super", the employer pays 11.5% on top of your wage. If it is an "$80k total remuneration package (super inclusive)," the super is calculated out of the $80k, meaning your base wage is actually lower.
Is super paid on overtime?
Generally, no. Superannuation is only required to be paid on "Ordinary Time Earnings" (OTE). Overtime hours are typically exempt from the Superannuation Guarantee calculation.
