Does this include carry-forward concessional caps?

No. It uses the current annual cap only. Carry-forward eligibility depends on prior year unused caps and total super balance.

What counts as concessional contributions?

Employer SG, salary sacrifice and deductible personal contributions are common concessional contribution types.
