Common questions

What others asks before signing up?

How much does it cost to set up an SMSF in Australia?
SMSF setup costs typically range from $1,500 to $8,000 depending on fund structure, member count and whether a corporate trustee is included. This calculator provides an estimate based on your specific requirements — your accountant or financial advisor will confirm the final figures after reviewing your circumstances.
How accurate is this SMSF cost calculator?
This calculator uses current Australian fee ranges for trust deed preparation, corporate trustee establishment, annual audits, tax returns and ATO/ASIC levies. It produces an estimate — your advisor will confirm exact pricing based on your fund structure and complexity.
What are the annual ongoing costs of running an SMSF?
Typical annual SMSF administration costs range from $2,000 to $5,000 and include the mandatory ATO supervisory levy ($259), annual audit ($500–$2,000), tax return preparation ($1,000–$3,500) and ASIC annual review fee ($63 for corporate trustees). Holding property in the SMSF adds $1,500–$5,000 in additional compliance costs.
Can I add this SMSF calculator to my WordPress, Webflow or Squarespace site?
Yes. Copy the embed code from your Leadkit dashboard and paste it into any page on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify. The calculator inherits your branding and feeds leads directly to your inbox.
What do I receive when an investor submits a quote?
You receive an instant email notification with the investor's contact details, their selected fund structure, all cost inputs and a lead score. The investor receives a branded PDF estimate from your practice.
What if I don't have a website?
Leadkit generates an auto-hosted quote page at your own branded URL. Share the link via email, SMS or social media — no website required.
Does holding property in an SMSF affect setup and ongoing costs?
Yes. Property in an SMSF requires additional compliance documentation including bare trust deeds, LRBA arrangements and ongoing reporting. This calculator adds property compliance costs when the property toggle is selected. Costs increase further if a limited recourse borrowing arrangement is involved.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works

How this SMSF setup cost calculator is calculated

This calculator produces an estimate of SMSF establishment and ongoing administration costs based on current Australian fee ranges. It is not financial advice — your accountant or financial advisor will confirm exact pricing after reviewing your circumstances.

GST handling: GST (10%) applies to professional service fees (trust deed, audit, tax return, compliance). Government charges (ATO supervisory levy, ASIC fees) are not subject to GST.

  1. Fund structure assessment

    Member count determines a complexity factor applied to professional service fees. Single-member funds attract base rates; multi-member funds increase compliance and documentation requirements.

    member_factor = fund_member_count (1.0 / 1.2 / 1.5)
  2. Setup cost calculation

    One-off establishment costs include trust deed preparation, corporate trustee registration (with ASIC), investment strategy documentation and rollover processing from existing super funds.

    setup_subtotal = (base + trust_deed + corporate_trustee + investment_strategy + rollover) × member_factor
  3. Annual cost projection

    Ongoing costs include the ATO supervisory levy ($259), ASIC annual review fee ($63 for corporate trustees), mandatory annual audit and tax return preparation. GST applies to professional service fees only.

    annual_total = professional_fees × 1.1 + govt_levies
  4. Property compliance adjustment

    Holding property in an SMSF adds compliance costs for bare trust deeds, ongoing reporting and, if applicable, LRBA documentation.

    property_cost = property_compliance_fee × member_factor + lrba_fee
  5. Five-year projection

    Total projected cost combines one-off setup costs with five years of ongoing administration to give a complete picture of SMSF ownership costs.

    five_year_total = setup_total + annual_total × 5
