    Hi everyone, thank you for sharing how your businesses manage salary packages. We understand those using a Super inclusive salary model require manual recalculations with annual SGC increases.

    Xero is designed primarily to support small businesses, the vast majority operate on an exclusive salary model. This is largely driven by the award system, where SGC is paid on top of base rate.

    Our product team has let us know we don’t have plans on our foreseeable roadmap to change how these calculations are handled in Xero.

    We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your workflows with us, as it helps us understand the diverse needs of the Australian business community. We’ll let you know if our priorities change.

    A function to deduct Super Guarantee (Statutory Superannuation) from an employee's EARNINGS should be mandatory if not embedded in payslip calculations, as NET PAY does not include Super Guarantee.

    Due to this, every pay run using Xero has been incorrect and I have had to go back to the Tax office and fix all submissions through Xero.

    This thread started in July 2022 and t is July 2025 and Xero still has not fixed this. Disappointing.
