$60 once · one licence key per person or team seat · 7-day full refund. A pay run the fund receives late becomes a non-deductible superannuation guarantee charge: A$17,760 on a A$148,000 run.
Received-by date, not sent-by date
From 1 July 2026 the test is when the fund receives the contribution, not when you send it. The tool counts 7 business days forward from payday and skips weekends and the public holidays you enter.
Submit-by date for your clearing house
Walks the lead time of your clearing house or gateway back from the received-by date, so you get the day the pay run actually has to leave you.
Price of landing late
A late contribution becomes a superannuation guarantee charge, and that charge is not tax deductible. The tool shows the SG amount for the run and the company tax deduction you forfeit.
Across the pay calendar
Multiplies the forfeited deduction by your number of pay runs a year, so a habit of shipping super two days late has a figure attached to it.
Export and reminders (full version)
Saves the dates and amounts as .csv for the file, and sets browser reminders ahead of a date you enter. Free tier keeps every calculation open.

Questions people ask

What does this extension actually do?

It takes a payday and counts seven business days forward, skipping weekends and the public holidays you enter, to give the date your super must have been received by the fund under Australia's Payday Super rules that started 1 July 2026. It then walks your clearing house lead time back from that date.

Who is it for?

Australian payroll officers, bookkeepers and BAS agents who run weekly or fortnightly pay for small and mid-sized employers. It suits anyone who moved off quarterly super in July 2026 and now has to hit a received-by date on every single pay run instead of four times a year.

Why not just ask a chatbot or use a date calculator?

A generic date calculator counts calendar days and does not know your state's public holidays or your clearing house lead time. A chatbot will often quote the old quarterly 28-day deadline, and it cannot tell you the day the pay run has to leave you rather than the day the fund needs it.

What is free and what needs the key?

Every calculation is free and unlimited: the received-by date, the submit-by date, the SG amount, the forfeited deduction and the yearly figure. The full version adds a different axis, keeping the result: .csv export for your payroll file and browser reminders before a date you enter.

What does getting this wrong cost?

A contribution received late stops being an ordinary super payment and becomes a superannuation guarantee charge, and that charge is not tax deductible. On a A$148,000 pay run the twelve per cent is A$17,760 of super you can no longer deduct, plus the charge and interest the ATO assesses on top.
