About Superannuation Benefit Calculator

A superannuation fund receives a fixed percentage of salary from the employer each year and invests it until the member leaves. Because contributions are annual and returns compound, growth normally exceeds the contributions over a full career.

Formula

Superannuation corpus

Corpus = (salary × rate) × [((1+r)^n - 1)/r] × (1+r)
