How this calculator works
This calculator applies the current superannuation guarantee percentage to your ordinary time earnings to estimate the compulsory super contribution your employer should pay, per pay cycle and per year. It is useful for checking payslips or budgeting for retirement.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as ordinary time earnings?
Generally your normal hours worked, including most allowances and paid leave, but usually excluding overtime — check your payslip or the ATO's definition for edge cases.
Is the super guarantee rate fixed here?
The default reflects the current legislated rate from src/config, but you can override it if your employer pays above the minimum.
Does this include salary sacrifice?
No, this only estimates the compulsory employer contribution; add salary sacrifice separately using the super balance projection calculator.
