Income and personal contributions

The Government uses annual income and the amount of personal contributions made to calculate any co-contribution that may be payable. This calculator works out the co-contribution amount based on the amount of income and personal contributions for a financial year.

  • Income is assessable income (income before any allowable deductions are taken off) plus any reportable fringe benefits (non-cash company benefits that are in addition to regular salary, such as a company car).
  • Personal contributions are contributions made to a super fund from after-tax pay. They do not include contributions made to a member by their spouse.

Eligibility

The main requirement is an income of less than $61,920. For other eligibility requirements and more information on the co-contribution scheme, see our factsheet or visit the ATO website.
