Your super contributions for the current quarter (ending 30 June, ATO legislative due date 28 July) are still calculated at the 10.5% rate for payments of salary and wages made prior to 1 July. 

From 1 July, the SG rate will increase to 11% and applies to payments of salary and wages made from this date forward. 

The rate will then continue to increase by 0.5% each financial year until it reaches 12% on 1 July 2025. 

We encourage you to update your payroll and accounting systems to reflect the new SG rate of 11% for payment of salary and wages you make from 1 July.

Each year the government sets a quarterly cap on the amount of an employee’s income on which their employer must make SG contributions, known as the MSCB. 

The MSCB limit for 2023-34 has been set at $62,270 per quarter. 

Please note from 1 July, if an employee earns above this limit in a particular quarter, employers are not required to make SG contributions for the part of the earnings over this limit.
