Superannuation

Your future is important to Resolution Life

If you’re employed, superannuation refers to compulsory contributions made to an account on your behalf by your employer, so that you can generate savings to support you when you’re no longer working and in retirement.

These contributions, known as the Superannuation Guarantee, were first legislated in 1991, with compulsory contributions commencing from 1 July 1992. Since these contributions were introduced, the compulsory contribution has steadily increased to 11.5% of your annual salary (effective 1 July 2024). This will increase to 12% (effective 1 July 2025).

If you're self-employed as a sole trader, or are in a partnership, you're not legally obligated to pay yourself super. However, it's never too early or late to think about planning for your retirement. You have the option to make regular or one-off payments to your super, and depending on your situation, you may be able to claim a tax deduction on your contributions.

In super, your money may be invested in different assets. You can choose your own investment options or leave the investment decisions to your provider – either way, your product is designed to grow your investment over time and support you in your retirement.
