What's the super contributions cap?
The government sets limits on how much money you can add to your super each year: the contribution caps. Adding extra to your super is a great way to grow your balance. But if you go over these limits, you may pay extra tax.

What's is the super contributions cap for 2024–25 and 2025-26?
There are 2 types of super contributions that have a cap to limit them. Let's look at how these both work, and how much you can add for the financial year from 1 July 2024.
Before-tax concessional contributions
These payments go into your super without income tax on them. So you only pay the 'concessional' 15% tax in your super. (Or 30% if your income + super is over $250,000/year.)
$30,000 cap per year
Concessional contributions cap 2024
plus carry-forward amounts since 1 July 2019 (previous cap was $27,500)
This can include:
Your employer's super guarantee contributions
Any salary sacrifice contributions you set up
Personal contributions you've claimed on tax
Notional taxed contributions for Defined Benefit accounts
After-tax non-concessional contributions
Non-concessional contributions can also be called voluntary contributions, personal contributions, or after-tax contributions. The cap doesn't include downsizer contributions or COVID-19 re-contributions.
$120,000 cap per year
Non-concessional contributions cap 2024
Or check the bring-forward rules in our FAQs for a higher cap.
The cap is $0.00 if your total super balance is $1.9 million or more at 30 June 2024.
This can include:
Money you add from your take-home pay after income tax
Money you add directly from your bank account
Contributions from your spouse
Any before-tax contributions over the concessional contributions cap that you haven't taken out
Keep track of your contributions
