How this calculator works
Estimate the super contribution attached to each payday from 1 July 2026. Inputs are validated, passed to the versioned Australia engine, and recalculated immediately whenever a field changes.
Formula
Per-pay super = annual 12% guarantee ÷ number of paydays.
Worked example
Fortnightly pay normally has 26 contribution events in a full year.
Edge cases and assumptions
Tax residency, eligibility dates, exemptions, family circumstances and documentation can change the result. The result card calls out material assumptions and unknown components are not silently changed to zero.
