Retirement age (invalidity):

Whole-of-income cap amount:

Read-only. Depending on the type of ETP, the concessional tax treatment is limited to the smaller of the ETP cap (Low rate threshold) and the whole-of-income cap. Amounts paid in excess of these caps are taxed at the top marginal rate (plus Medicare levy).
