The difference adding a little extra could make

While retirement feels like it's really far away, even small voluntary contributions today can make a big difference in the future with the power of compounding returns. If it suits your personal situation, adding a little bit extra to your super could have a big impact on your balance for retirement2.

Did you know there are two different ways you can contribute?

  • Before-tax contributions come out of your pay before it’s taxed. Your employer pays this into your super account on top of compulsory super contributions, or after-tax contributions you claim a tax deduction for.
  • After-tax contributions are extra payments you can make from the money you’ve already paid tax on, like your take-home salary. If you make after-tax contributions, you could also qualify for a super co-contribution, depending on certain eligibility criteria such as your annual income.

Consider making additional contributions

If it suits you, set up salary sacrifice3 with your employer, or login to the portal to make after-tax contributions.
