How This Calculator Works

The downsizer contribution is a powerful strategy for Australians over 55 who sell their home. Up to $300,000 per person can be added to super regardless of existing balance or contribution caps. Given super\'s favourable tax treatment (earnings taxed at just 15%), this can significantly boost retirement income. The earlier you make the contribution, the more time compound growth has to work.
