How SuperSure treats compliance-sensitive inputs

What the worksheet does

SuperSure is designed as a worksheet rather than a black-box calculator. The calculation engine only performs durable math: it identifies ordinary time earnings entered by the user, applies an editable SG rate, and caps contributable earnings at an editable maximum contribution base. Values that can change over time are stored separately from the calculation logic and surfaced with a reviewed date and authority source.

This keeps the product useful when rates or guidance change, and it gives employers a clear audit trail for how an estimate was assembled.

What the worksheet does not do

SuperSure does not replace payroll, legal, or tax advice. It does not decide unusual worker status for you, and it does not pretend date-sensitive rules are timeless. The product is meant to improve the quality of a payroll review, not shortcut it.

When to escalate beyond the estimate

If the worker arrangement is unusual, such as a contractor relationship, a labour-only arrangement, or a mixed engagement, the product deliberately shifts to caution language. That is your signal to compare the estimate against current authority guidance and, where needed, seek payroll or legal advice before acting.

The same goes for future-period payroll planning, historical corrections, and any situation where your payroll system assumptions conflict with the worksheet summary.
