Government co-contribution calculator

Government co-contributions calculator

The co-contribution scheme is an incentive which encourages Australians to contribute to their super on a post-tax basis and receive an additonal contribution from the Government.

Please note: the calculator below reflects the Government's proposed changes to the co-contribution scheme for the 2012/2013 financial year. The proposed changes are not yet law and include:

a reduction in the co-contribution payment to $0.50c for every $1 contributed, up to a maximum of $500 pa
a reduction in the upper income threshold to receive the co-contribution, from $61,920 pa to $46,920 pa.

For further details on existing and proposed thresholds, refer to our Government co-contribution factsheet.
