  • Top up your super with after-tax contributions

You can give your super a top-up by making voluntary contributions from your after-tax income, also known as personal super contributions.

These contributions are non-concessional as you don’t receive a tax deduction on them. However, once the money is in your super, any investment earnings are generally only taxed at 15 per cent, making it favourable, compared to most earnings outside of super.

If you would like to make a regular or single additional payment to your super, reach out to your super fund, who can provide you with options.
