Superannuation Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is superannuation in Australia?

    Superannuation, also known as ‘super’, is money put aside by your employer over your working life for you to live on when you retire. Your employer must contribute a percentage of your earnings into your super account, and your super fund then invests the money until you're ready to retire.


    You also have the option to make extra voluntary contributions (up to a certain limit) to boost your super savings. It's a fantastic way to secure your financial future.

  • How much is superannuation?

    Currently, the minimum superannuation guarantee (SG) rate employers must pay for each eligible employee is 11% of their ordinary time earnings (OTE). This superannuation rate will gradually go up to 12% on 1 July 2025. Remember, if you don't pay the correct SG amount by the quarterly due date, you'll have to pay the super guarantee charge. Stay on top of your payments to ensure your employees are cared for!

  • When do I pay my employees' super?

    It's super important for employers to make sure they pay their super contributions on time to steer clear of any penalties. The law states that employers must make payments at least four times a year, by the end of each financial quarter. The due dates for these payments are set at four weeks after the end of the quarter.

    • Quarter 1 (1 July - 30 September) = Due 28th October
    • Quarter 2 (1 October - 31 December) = Due 28th January
    • Quarter 3 (1 January - 31 March) = Due 28th April
    • Quarter 4 (1 April - 30 June) = Due 28th July
