How much do I need to retire?

The government’s moneysmart website provides information and a retirement planner to help you estimate how much super you’ll have when you retire.

The amount of super you’ll need when you retire depends on:

• your big costs in retirement, and
• the lifestyle you want.

Most people can now expect to live well into their eighties. This means that if you stop working at 65, you’ll need retirement income for 20 years or more.
