From 1 July 2021, superannuation contribution caps will increase due to indexation – a positive change that allows for greater superannuation amounts.
- The concessional contribution cap is set to increase from $25,000 p.a. to $27,500 p.a.
- The standard non-concessional contribution cap is calculated as four times the concessional contributions cap, so is set to increase from $100,000 to $110,000.
- The maximum amount a member who was under 65 at the start of the year can contribute under the non-concessional contribution cap bring-forward rule will increase from $300,000 to $330,000.
- The $1.6m non-concessional cap threshold is also changing to $1.7m.
