Frequently asked questions
Does salary sacrifice reduce take-home pay by the full contribution?
Not usually. The cash reduction is often smaller because tax and sometimes HELP repayments also change.
Is this personal tax advice?
No. It is a planning estimate only and does not check contribution caps or employer packaging rules.
