Additional contributions
Extra dollars add up over time
Super is one of the most tax-effective ways to save for retirement. Even $30 extra a week can give your super a real boost at retirement. For most of us, the 9% employer contribution just isn't enough to provide the lifestyle you want when you stop working.
There is no time like the present to start making contributions to your super. In fact the sooner you start, the sooner you may benefit from tax savings and maybe even a free contribution from the government!
| Different types of contributions | |
| Personal after-tax contribution | Personal contributions are known as Non-concessional Contributions and is when you add additional amounts to your super after your income has been paid into your account. |
| Government Co-contribution Scheme | If you are eligible, the Government is willing to give you a super boost of up to $1,000 to help you save for retirement. |
| Salary Sacrifice | This is when you contribute additional amounts to your super before tax is applied to your income. This could reduce the amount of tax you pay on your income. |
| Spouse Contributions | If your spouse is eligible, they can contribute to your super account to help you boost your super for retirement. |
Please note, contribution tax limits apply when making additional contributions, please refer to our Contribution limits factsheet for more information.
You can make a contribution to your super if you are under age 65, or if between 65 and 74 and have worked at least 40 hours over 30 consecutive days in the relevant financial year.
