Frequently Asked Questions

What is the concessional contribution cap?
The concessional (before-tax) cap is $30,000 per year in 2025-26. This includes all employer SG contributions, salary sacrifice, and personal deductible contributions. Exceeding this cap means the excess is included in your assessable income and taxed at your marginal rate.
Can I carry forward unused super caps?
Yes, if your super balance was below $500,000 at 30 June of the previous year, you can carry forward unused concessional cap amounts from the previous 5 financial years. This can temporarily increase your annual cap well above $30,000 — useful for lump sum contributions.

What is Super Contribution?

A super contribution calculator helps you understand and manage your superannuation contribution caps — the annual limits on how much you can contribute to super at concessional (pre-tax) and non-concessional (after-tax) rates.

How this calculator works

The calculator tracks your concessional contributions (employer SG at 12% plus any salary sacrifice or personal deductible contributions) against the $30,000 annual cap. Visual progress bars show how much of each cap you've used. If you've carried forward unused cap from previous years (available when your super balance is below $500,000), you can add this to increase your limit. Exceeding the concessional cap means the excess is taxed at your marginal rate instead of the 15% concessional rate — a costly mistake this calculator helps you avoid.
