Payday Mate

Payday Super,for commission.

Since 1 July 2026, super is due with every pay run, including the ones with commission in them. Put in a payday and an amount to see when the super has to land.

The calculator counts weekdays only. A state-wide public holiday anywhere in Australia adds a day, so the date shown is the earliest it could be due. Paying by it is always on time.

The rules that matter for commission

Commission counts

Super is 12% of qualifying earnings, and commission is part of that. A big commission month means a big super payment soon after.

Received, not sent

The money has to reach the fund within 7 business days. Starting the transfer on day 7 is too late.

Holidays anywhere count

Weekends don't count, and neither does a public holiday covering a whole state or territory, even one you don't operate in.

New starters get longer

The first contribution for a new employee, or to a new fund, has 20 business days instead of 7.

Late means the charge

Miss the deadline and the super guarantee charge applies: the unpaid super, plus interest and an admin amount.

Payroll needs the number early

Every day spent finalising commission is a day payroll doesn't have. Locking figures in early gives them room.

The simplest way to stay safe

Pay super on the same day as the pay run. Your clearing house then has the full 7 business days to get it to the fund.
