What SuperSure assumes by default
SuperSure starts with the current reviewed SG rate as a visible assumption, not a hidden constant. That matters because employers often need to sanity-check payroll settings before they trust any estimate.
If your payroll system or adviser is working from a different rate, change the assumption in the calculator first. The result summary updates immediately so the estimate stays tied to the rate you are actually reviewing.
Why the rate should stay date-stamped
The SG percentage can change over time, so this guide labels the rate as of the reviewed date instead of pretending the number is timeless. That keeps the product durable and makes it obvious when a payroll team should re-check the source.
