How does it work? Example
Kate earns an annual salary of $45,000 per annum (excluding her employer's super contributions) and is considering salary packaging additional superannuation.
By choosing to salary package an additional $5,000 into her superannuation, rather than paying for it from her post-tax salary, Kate could increase her net disposable salary by $1,575 per annum or $60 per fortnight.
