“If you can afford to forgo some of your take home pay, salary sacrificing is one of the easiest ways to boost your super and pay less tax in the process.  Based on your salary, the tax rate on every dollar you earn above $135,001 is 37%*, whereas any amount of super contributions made from your pre-tax salary are only taxed at 15%.  

So, if you were able to salary sacrifice say, $10,000, into your super this financial year you will pay only $1,500 in tax and boost your super by $8,500. Alternatively, if you take that $10,000 as salary, you will pay $3,700 in tax, leaving you with $6,300 in take-home pay.”
