Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a superannuation fund in your Xero payroll settings.

Quick summary

Adding a superannuation fund in Xero takes just a few steps inside Payroll Settings, where you select the Superannuation tab, enter the fund details, and save. This process ensures your employee super contributions are correctly linked to the right fund within your Xero organisation.


Steps

  2. Select Payroll Settings from the dropdown list of options.
  3. Click the Superannuation tab to navigate to the superannuation management section.
  4. Click the Add Superannuation Fund button to begin adding a new fund.

📌 Why this matters

Managing superannuation correctly is a legal requirement for Australian employers, and Xero's built-in payroll tools make it straightforward to stay compliant. By adding a superannuation fund directly within Xero Payroll Settings, businesses can ensure employee super contributions are automatically calculated and linked to the correct fund. This eliminates manual tracking, reduces the risk of compliance errors, and streamlines the entire payroll process. For any business running payroll in Australia, knowing how to configure superannuation funds in Xero is an essential step toward accurate, audit-ready payroll management.
