Payday Super support
Payday Super is the ATO's new requirement to pay super on payday, and it starts on 1 July 2026. Find out how to get ready and stay compliant in MYOB Greentree
What's changing
Payday Super is an Australian government initiative that changes how you calculate super guarantee and when you pay it to your employees.
From 1 July 2026:
- For all pay runs with a physical payment date on or after 1 July 2026, superannuation is paid each pay run, rather than quarterly. There is no change to your usual processes in MYOB Greentree, except for processing and paying superannuation more frequently.
- Superannuation payments must reach employee super fund accounts within 7 business days.
- Superannuation guarantee (SG) and superannuation guarantee charge (SGC) are now calculated off a single earnings base, called qualifying earnings. Learn more.
- The maximum contributions base is changing to annual, rather than quarterly.
- The qualifying earnings amount (Q) is included as part of mandatory STP reporting. This is a year-to-date figure, and no further amounts are reported once it reaches the maximum contributions for the year. Year-to-date super guarantee (SG) liability is also still included in STP reporting.
For more information about your Payday Super obligations, see the Australian Taxation Office website.
