Each year, the Government's co-contribution scheme could mean up to $500 extra towards your retirement nest egg. If your total income is less than $47,488 (in the 2025/26 financial year) and you make after-tax contributions to your super, the Government will boost your super with a co-contribution of 50 cents for every $1 of those contributions up to a maximum co-contribution of $500. If your total income is between $47,488 and $62,488 in the 2025/26 financial year your maximum entitlement will reduce progressively as your income increases.
