Enter the date you paid wages. We count forward 7 business days, skipping weekends and public holidays that apply across your state or territory.
New employees or a new fund: 20 business days for the first contribution.
Out-of-cycle payments (such as a bonus paid on a different day) are due 7 business days after the next regular payday.
The deadline is when the fund receives the money, not when you send it.
Missed or late contributions attract the new super guarantee charge: the shortfall, notional earnings, an administrative uplift of up to 60%, and a choice loading where applicable.
