Frequently asked questions

What is the super guarantee rate in 2026-27?
The super guarantee (SG) is 12% of ordinary time earnings — the legislated maximum, reached on 1 July 2025. Your employer must pay this into your super fund on top of your salary, at least quarterly.
What is the concessional contributions cap for 2026-27?
The concessional cap is $32,500 for 2026-27 (up from $30,000, indexed to wages). It covers employer SG plus salary-sacrifice and personal deductible contributions. Amounts within the cap are taxed at 15% instead of your marginal rate.
How does salary sacrifice into super work?
You agree with your employer to pay part of your pre-tax salary into super. That amount is taxed at 15% (the contributions tax) instead of your marginal income tax rate — a saving of up to 30 cents per dollar for higher earners, in exchange for locking the money away until preservation age.
When can I access my super?
Generally at preservation age (60 for anyone born after 30 June 1964) once you retire, or at 65 regardless of work status. Limited early-access exceptions exist (severe hardship, some medical conditions, First Home Super Saver scheme for eligible contributions).
