How super grows

Your employer must pay 12% of your ordinary earnings into super. Contributions are taxed at 15% as they enter the fund, and investment earnings are taxed at up to 15% while you’re working. That’s why we ask for a return after investment tax. Fees come off every year, so a low-fee fund makes a big difference over decades.
