Voluntary contributions can be a great way to help grow your super. If it suits your personal situation, adding a little bit extra to your super could have a big impact on your balance for retirement2.

There’s more than one way to build your super through extra contributions. Depending on your situation, you can choose to put a little extra into your super before or after tax.

After-tax contributions

After-tax contributions

After-tax contributions are extra payments you can make from the money you’ve already paid tax on, like your take-home salary. You could also qualify for government co-contributions, depending on certain eligibility criteria such as your annual income.
