Self-managed superannuation funds: A statistical overview 2008-09

Table 1: Contribution flows

This table illustrates the total value of contributions to SMSFs during each financial year and the mean and median amounts over those periods, along with contributions by fund size.

These figures are estimates based on SMSF income tax and regulatory return form data. To ensure consistency, the Total Contributions figures used are those reported in the Self-managed super fund statistical report, December 2010 (available at www.ato.gov.au/SMSF).
