ATO 2026-27: general Transfer Balance Cap $2.1m (ato.gov.au transfer-balance-cap); concessional contributions cap $32,500 and non-concessional $130,000 (ato.gov.au contributions-caps). Illustrative TBC indexation +$100,000/year is a model assumption, not the ATO personal-cap formula. Default inflation 2.5% is the RBA target midpoint; ABS headline CPI was 4.3% in the year to September 2026, run both in Advanced.

ABS CPI, 12 months to September 2026. The default is a policy midpoint, not a claim that prices will stay there. Over 10 to 30 years the gap between target and actual inflation changes what a nominal balance buys, when inflation runs hot.
