Why do I need Superannuation?

Superannuation is there to provide you financial support in your retirement.

If you’re working and earning more than a certain amount, your employer has to put extra money into your super account on top of your regular pay. This is called the Super Guarantee (SG).

  • from 1 July 2024, your boss must put in 11.5% of your regular earnings.
  • From 1 July 2025, that goes up to 12%.

These payments happen at least four times a year (every quarter).
