Super Guarantee Rate Rising to 12% – What Employers Need to Know

From 1 July 2025, the Super Guarantee (SG) rate is increasing from 11.5% to 12%.

It’s a small step on paper—but for employers, especially those with a team, it means extra super contributions that need to be budgeted for.

Here’s what to check:

✅ Is your payroll software set up for the new rate?
✅ Have you reviewed your wages budget for the new financial year?
✅ Are your clients aware of the change (if you’re a bookkeeper)?

This is a great time to review systems and avoid any underpayment issues. Super compliance mistakes aren’t just admin headaches—they can come with penalties.
