Co-contribution incentive. Are you Eligible?

PrintEmailSharestandard text sizelarge text size

The Co-contribution scheme gives you the opportunity to have extra Government contributions made to your super if you make voluntary contributions and your income is less than $61,920. Despite some trimming in recent budgets, those on less than $31,920 p.a. will still receive a dollar for dollar co-contribution, up to a maximum of $1,000. That’s a 100% return!

This support reduces for incomes above $31,920 until it cuts out at $61,920. These thresholds will be maintained for at least the next two years.

Here’s how it works: Bob is 40 and earns $40,000 p.a. He has $1,000 available to invest in superannuation this year.  Is Bob eligible for a Government Co-contribution?

Yes – Bob would be entitled to $730 from the Government.  If Bob were able to make these personal contributions to super on a regular yearly basis, the increase to his superannuation account by the time he retired as a result of the co-contributions will be significant.
