Paid on Thursday 10 June 2027: when is Payday Super due?
Send it by Thursday 17 June 2027 if your clearing house takes 3 business days to pass it on.
The same date in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT. 7 business days from payday, counting every state-wide public holiday in Australia (ATO QC105846).
Why it is not Mon 21 Jun 2027
Counting 7 business days and skipping only weekends lands on Monday 21 June 2027. One weekday in that window is a public holiday for the whole of at least one state or territory:
- Mon 14 Jun — King's Birthday (NSW, VIC, SA, TAS, ACT, NT)
Under ATO QC105846 a day like that is not a business day for any employer in Australia, even one in a state where it is an ordinary working day. So the count steps over it, and the deadline moves to Tuesday 22 June 2027 — for a business in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT alike.
The count, day by day

| Tue 22 Jun | Business day 7 — the deadline |
Same payday, different case
| If | Fund must receive by |
|---|---|
| It is the first contribution for a new or rehired worker, or the first to a replacement fund (20 business days) | Fri 9 Jul 2027 |
| The pay actually left your account the business day before, Wed 9 Jun 2027 — the date that counts is the day the money leaves, not the day staff see it | Mon 21 Jun 2027 |
| It is an out-of-cycle payment (a bonus, commission or back pay) | 7 business days after the next regular payday, not this one — enter both in the checker |
Check it with your own lead time. Open this payday in the free checker — it shows the same date, lets you set your clearing house's real cut-off, and can email you before the send-by date. If you pay on a regular cycle, every date is already in the 2026–27 calendar.
Planning information, not tax, legal or financial advice. The legal test is the date the fund receives the money with the information needed to allocate it. The 3-business-day send-by figure is our default, not your clearing house's — check its cut-off. Confirm anything that matters with the ATO or your registered tax or BAS agent.
