How do I apply for DASP?

Apply online through the ATO's DASP online system. You'll need your passport details, visa information and super fund details. The ATO collects your super from all funds.

How long does DASP take?

Processing typically takes 28 days after the ATO receives your application. It can take longer if you have multiple funds or missing information.

Can I claim DASP if I'm still in Australia?

No. You must have left Australia and your visa must be expired or cancelled. The ATO checks your departure status with Immigration.

What Is a Departing Australia Superannuation Payment?

DASP allows temporary residents to claim their Australian superannuation when they permanently leave Australia. The ATO processes the payment and withholds tax before sending you the funds.

You can apply once your visa has expired or been cancelled and you've left Australia. The payment includes all your super funds - employer contributions, personal contributions and investment earnings.

How DASP Tax Is Calculated

Taxable component: 35% withholding for most temporary residents, or 65% for working holiday makers (417/462 visas).
Tax-free component: 0% withholding. Usually only applies to personal after-tax contributions you made.
Working holiday maker: 65% withholding applies to the taxable component if you held a 417 or 462 visa.
Taxed element assumed: This calculator applies the taxed-element rate, which is what APRA-regulated funds hold for almost all temporary residents. If your fund reports an untaxed element, the ATO withholds 45% on that part (65% for working holiday makers).
Full balance: You receive your entire super balance (minus tax). Nothing is kept in Australia.

Claiming Your DASP

•Wait until your visa has expired or been cancelled before applying
•Find all your super funds using the ATO's online services before you leave
•Keep your Australian bank account open until the payment arrives (or use an international transfer)
•There is no deadline, but don't leave it: once it has been 6 months since you left and your visa has ceased, your fund transfers the money to the ATO as unclaimed super. You can still claim it as a DASP, just from the ATO rather than the fund

About this calculator

This calculator exists to show you the arithmetic. It applies published Australian rates, thresholds and formulas to the numbers you enter and shows the working, so you can check it. That is all it does — it produces a number and describes what the number is. It does not recommend anything and it holds no opinion about any financial product.

What can move this result

It only knows the figures you type in. Offsets, deductions, prior-year losses, other income, your partner's position and anything you have not entered are not in the result, and any of them can move it a long way.
Rates and thresholds change, sometimes mid-year and occasionally with retrospective effect. Each calculator shows the financial year and the verification date it is working from — outside that year the result is wrong rather than approximate.
Assumptions are set to a reasonable default and every non-statutory one can be changed. Defaults are not predictions, and a small change to a growth or inflation assumption compounds into a large change in a long projection.
Where a result reaches two or more years into the future it is shown in today's dollars as well as future dollars, because a future-dollar figure overstates what the money will actually buy.
It is a generic calculator. It is not built around any particular product, it does not compare the market, and it cannot tell you whether a product is suitable for you.
