AFTA@Work Article - Qantas Credit Union
As everyone’s circumstances are different, this is one of the most difficult questions to answer. There are many superannuation and retirement options available, and no dollar amount will suit all situations.
Below are some items to consider when determining the amount you will need for retirement.
The answers to these types of questions will have a major impact on how much money you will need in retirement.
Research completed by the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) suggests that the below table is a good indication of how much you will need to retire:
Modest Retirement - a little better than the Age Pension, but still only able to afford fairly basic activities | Comfortable Retirement - enables a healthy retiree to be involved in leisure and recreational activities, with a good standard of living and travel |
$33,784 per annum for couples | $58,326 per annum for couples |
$23,489 per annum for singles | $42,597 per annum for singles |
• Source: ASFA Retirement Living Standard, March quarter 2014 and assumes retirees own their home outright.
