How SuperSure treats compliance-sensitive inputs

Reviewed 18 Apr 2026ATO rate source

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. If the worker arrangement is unusual, such as a contractor relationship or a mixed engagement, the product deliberately shifts to caution language so employers know they may need payroll or legal advice before acting.
