Salary sacrifice

How does salary sacrifice work?

You can choose to 'sacrifice' part of your salary and direct it to your superannuation savings instead. Simply let your employer know how much you'd like to salary sacrifice to NGS and they'll set up your automatic contribution.

There are restrictions on how much you can contribute to your super via salary sacrifice. For full details on salary sacrifice eligibility and limits, please read our fact sheets Salary sacrifice and save and Opportunities and limits for super contributions.

Why salary sacrifice?

Boost your balance

The more you put into your super now, the more you'll have to enjoy later in life.

Pay less tax

Salary sacrifice contributions are taxed at just 15% (or 30% for those with incomes over $250,000 p.a.).

Reduce your taxable income

Salary sacrifice contributions come out of your pre-tax salary, so they reduce your taxable income. Come tax time, you may need to pay less.

How to get started

Unsure how much you should salary sacrifice? NGS offers single-issue advice limited to your NGS Super account at no cost. Find out more on our advice services page. Alternatively, check out ASIC’s MoneySmart Contribution Calculator to find out what type of contributions you should make.

Once confirmed by your employer, your salary sacrifice contributions will be automatic and you should see them on your payslip. If you need to change or cancel your contributions, all you need to do is inform your employer.
