Divorce Superannuation Calculator

Superannuation can be split between partners as part of a separation or divorce settlement in Australia, under Family Law Act rules that treat super as a distinct type of property. This calculator gives a simplified estimate of how a nominated percentage split would divide two partners' combined super balances.

e.g. 50% is an even split of the combined balance.

This shows only the arithmetic of a percentage split — real family law super splitting involves formal valuation, agreements or court orders, and fund procedures. See the Disclaimer.

A simplified split, not a family law valuation

Real superannuation splitting in family law involves formal valuation methods (which can differ for accumulation and defined benefit interests), splitting orders or agreements, fund-specific procedures, and fees — considerably more involved than a simple percentage of two balances. This calculator only illustrates the arithmetic of a straightforward percentage split of the combined balance, to help you get a rough sense of the numbers before seeking proper advice.

Getting proper advice

Because superannuation splitting is a legal process with binding financial consequences, it's strongly worth engaging a family lawyer, and often a superannuation valuer or actuary for defined benefit interests, rather than relying on an online estimate. This calculator is a starting point for understanding the numbers involved, not a substitute for that advice.
