LUCRF Super assumptions
Salary sacrifice video
Scenario
Here’s what I did. When I turned 30, I started putting an extra $30 a week into my super and by the time I retire this will make a $41k difference to my balance. And the best thing is I barely noticed it as it only decreased my take home pay by $20 per week because I’m paying less tax.
Assumptions
- Future values are shown in today's dollars discounted by 4% p.a.
- 30 years of age as at 1 July 2019,
- $25,000 superannuation invested in MySuper Balanced
- $70,000 p.a. income; income and out-goings occur mid-year;
- 9.50% employer SG contribution increasing by 0.5% from 01/07/2021 until SG reaches and stays at 12% from 01/07/2025.
- 6.5% p.a. investment earnings net of fees, taxes and life insurance premiums
- Inflation is assumed at 2.5% due to the rising costs of living and a further 1.5% due to the rising cost of community living standards; taxes and levies remain constant.
Scenario
Also make sure you check the contribution limit. The limit on contributions from your employer, including salary sacrifice is $25,000 per year. If you do go over this amount you may be charged additional tax.
Figures are correct as at February 2021 and can be subject to change.
