FAQs - frequently asked questions

How can I improve my retirement income?

  • You can grow your retirement income by making extra contributions and reviewing your investment strategy.
  • Even small additional contributions — like salary sacrifice or personal contributions — can compound significantly over time. Choosing the right investment option for your age and goals, consolidating multiple funds to reduce fees, and delaying retirement by even a few years can all make a big difference.

What’s a good super balance at retirement?

  • There’s no single “right” number, but industry standards give a useful guide.
  • According to ASFA’s Retirement Standard, a single person may need around $595,000 and a couple around $690,000 in super (on top of the Age Pension) to retire comfortably. However, your ideal balance depends on factors like lifestyle, retirement age, health, and other assets such as savings or investments.

Should I get financial advice about my super?

  • Yes — professional advice can help you maximise your retirement savings.
  • While calculators are great for estimates, a licensed financial adviser can tailor a strategy to your situation, taking into account your income, goals, investment options, tax advantages, and government benefits. This personalised approach can help you feel more confident about retirement planning.
