Contributions (Annual)

Salary Sacrifice

Pre-tax amount your employer redirects into super — reduces your taxable income and take-home pay

Personal Concessional Contributions

Funded from salary

Paid from your post-tax pay — reduces take-home and taxable income

Funded from savings

Lump sum from your bank — reduces taxable income only, take-home pay unchanged

Both sources receive the same s290-150 tax deduction. The difference is which account is drawn down.

Non-Concessional Contributions (after-tax)

After-tax contributions — no income tax deduction, but tax-free inside fund

Carry-Forward & Balance

Prior Year Unused Concessional Cap

Unused CC from prior years — only available if your super balance is below $500,000

Super Balance (prior 30 June)
