Payday Super calculator
Choose a financial year, then work out the super guarantee on each pay run and the date it must reach your employee's fund under Payday Super, which started on 1 July 2026.
The Payday Super rules
- From 1 July 2026, employers pay super guarantee with each pay run instead of quarterly.
- The super guarantee rate is 12% of qualifying earnings.
- Contributions must reach the employee's fund within 7 business days after payday, or 20 business days for a new employee or a first payment to a new fund.
- Late or short payments attract the super guarantee charge, which includes an administrative uplift.
Deadlines here count weekdays only. A public holiday that applies across your whole state or territory adds a day, so the real deadline can be a little later than shown, never earlier. Allow time for your clearing house to process payments.
