3 Helping you achieve your retirement goals As you near retirement you probably have a number of questions about how to reach your financial goals. This brochure should help answer some of those questions and give you some guidance when it comes to planning for the next exciting stage in your life. If you have any questions or want to talk through anything relating to your super or retirement please call us on REST Industry Super REST Industry Super is one of Australia s largest super funds trusted by around 2 million members^ nearly 1 in 6 working Australians is a REST member *. Our mission is to improve the retirement outcomes of members throughout their lives.

4 Retirement is one of the most important stages in your life Retirement planning Although retirement may not be in your immediate future, REST is committed to helping you make the most out of your super. So when the time comes, you can enjoy the retirement lifestyle you would like. When planning for retirement, you will need to consider when you want to retire, how long you will be in retirement and how much money you will need for a comfortable retirement. Is there a legal age to retire? Generally, there is no legal age at which you must retire. Some industries and employment contracts specify a retirement age but these do not affect most Australians. However, there is an age at which you can access your super. When can I access my super? To encourage Australians to save for retirement, the government restricts when you can access your super. Generally you can access your super when you reach your preservation age and have permanently retired. Your preservation age is determined by your date of birth. Date of birth Preservation age Before 1 July July June July June July June July June From 1 July
5 How much super will I need? How much money you ll need in retirement is personal and depends on the lifestyle choices you make. Super can be an important source of income when you retire (together with other investments and, if eligible, the government Age Pension). According to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA), a single person needs an annual expenditure of $42,433 and a couple needs $58,128 to live comfortably in retirement*. To find out how much super you may have at retirement, you can use our super and retirement calculator at calculators * ASFA Retirement Standard June quarter ASFA Retirement Standard assumes that you own your own home. Retirement made easy 4
6 Budgets for various households and living standards The ASFA table below shows the weekly and annual budget for a single or couple, to fund a modest or comfortable lifestyle in retirement. Your pension may bridge the gap between what you may qualify for through the Age Pension and the lifestyle you d like to achieve in retirement. Modest lifestyle Single Modest lifestyle Couple Comfortable lifestyle Single Comfortable lifestyle Couple Housing ongoing only $64.27 $61.70 $74.49 $86.35 Energy $43.26 $57.46 $43.90 $59.54 Food $76.16 $ $ $ Clothing $17.85 $28.98 $38.64 $57.95 Household goods and services $26.47 $35.89 $74.46 $87.23 Health $40.71 $78.57 $80.77 $ Transport $96.15 $98.87 $ $ Leisure $73.78 $ $ $ Communications $9.40 $16.46 $25.85 $32.90 Total per week $ $ $ $1, Total per year $23,363 $33,664 $42,433 $58,128 The figures in each case assume that the retiree(s) own their own home and relate to expenditure by the household. This can be greater than the household income after tax where there is a drawdown on capital over the period of retirement. Single calculations are based on female figures. All calculations are weekly, unless otherwise stated. Source: ASFA Retirement Standard, June quarter

8 Building your wealth The compulsory payments your employer makes into your super are a great start to saving for your retirement. However, they may not be enough to fund the lifestyle you would like when you retire. Simple ways to boost your super before you retire There are some simple, practical ways to get your super working harder. Depending on your situation, a financial adviser can help you determine which strategy or combination of strategies work best for you. For more information about building your wealth (including case studies and eligibility criteria) visit grow Benefit Find lost super Save on fees Strategy If you have changed jobs, address or your name, you may have lost or unclaimed super. To check if you have any lost or unclaimed super, use the SuperSeeker tool on the ATO website ( Combine your super accounts If you ve had more than one job chances are you have more than one super account, paying more than one set of fees, which could add up over time. Combine them now and you could be sitting on more money when you really need it. You ll also enjoy the benefits of less paperwork and it may be easier to keep an eye on your money because it s all in the one place. Current REST members can save time and consolidate online via MemberAccess.
9 Benefit Contributions from the Government Reduce your income tax without affecting your take home pay No tax on after-tax contributions (within limits) Lower tax rates on investment earnings Strategy Super co-contribution If you re eligible and make a personal after-tax contribution into your super by 30 June each year, the government will match part of your contributions up to a certain amount after you lodge your tax return for the financial year. To find out more about eligibility visit Low income superannuation contribution (LISC) The LISC is a superannuation payment by the Government of up to $500 paid automatically (subject to eligibility) each financial year - effectively a rebate on the 15% contribution tax paid on the concessional contributions. It was originally introduced as a tax concession for low income earner (if you earn $37,000 or less per annum) to help boost savings for retirement, and are only eligible for permanent residents of Australia. The LISC will be abolished from 1 July Transition to retirement If you ve reached your preservation age and still working, you could boost your super and save on tax without affecting your take home pay (see page 12). Voluntary contributions Making additional contributions from your post-tax salary can be an effective way to grow your super. After-tax contributions, also called non-concessional contributions, are capped at $180,000 per year for the financial year. If you are under age 65, you can contribute up to $540,000 ($180,000 x 3) in after-tax contributions in a financial year by bringing forward two year s worth of contributions. Note: If you exceed these limits, you will be subject to an excess non-concessional contribution tax of up to 49%. For years and later years, excess contributions are included in an individual s taxable income (with a non-refundable tax offset equal to the 15% tax paid by the fund) Investment earnings within super are only subject to tax of up to 15% compared to non-super investments which are generally taxed at your marginal tax rate. Investment earnings on account-based income streams such as REST Pension are not subject to tax. Note: Fees are only one factor you should consider when making decisions on your super. Currently, administration fees may not be payable on small balances (subject to change). The information in this brochure is based on laws current as at 1 October 2014 and may change.

10 Ready to retire Generally you can access your super when you have permanently retired from work and have reached your preservation age. Once you have access to your super, you can convert it to an account-based pension, take it as a lump sum payout or a combination of the two. While there are benefits to both payment types, an account-based pension could be a better option for many people because it offers tax advantages, and assists in providing a regular income and possible access to additional government benefits. What is an account-based pension? An account-based pension provides you with a regular income in retirement. It can help you: manage your income and spending with flexible payment options and tax concessions (including tax-free investment earnings and tax-free pension payments once you re aged 60 or over) and; supplement any Department of Human Services benefits you may be entitled to. REST offers a low fee account-based pension (see below). Introducing REST Pension REST offers an award winning account-based pension that can be a tax-effective way of providing you with a regular income in retirement, or if you re aged 55 or over and still working. In 2014, REST Pension was awarded Pension of the Year 2014 from SuperRatings and Money magazine s 2014 Best of the Best award for Best Pension Fund Manager. REST Pension features, at a glance It s easy to join REST Pension you need a minimum of $10,000 to invest. To find out if you re eligible to invest, please read the REST Pension Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for more information.

13 Transition to retirement If you re not quite ready to fully retire, but might be looking to reduce your work hours or boost your super in the lead up to retirement, then a Transition to Retirement Pension may be an option for you. What is a transition to retirement pension? A transition to retirement pension allows you to convert your super into an income stream if you have reached your preservation age (refer to the table on page 3 to determine your preservation age). It is designed to supplement your income in the later years of your working life before you retire. A transition to retirement pension may suit you if: You want to boost your super in the lead up to retirement via a salary sacrifice arrangement with your employer. You d like to work part-time but maintain the same take-home pay. What are the benefits? Reduce the amount of income tax you pay. Salary Sacrifice contributions! to your super account (made under the concessional contribution limit) are taxed at 15% rather than your marginal tax rate. If you re aged 60 or over, your pension payments are tax-free. If you re aged 55 to 59, your pension payments are subject to income tax. However, a 15% tax offset may be available. Investment earnings on your pension are tax-free. Allows you to supplement income from other sources whilst continuing to work. For more information about transitioning to retirement (including case studies) visit An additional 15% tax may apply to concessional contributions for high income earners. Retirement made easy 12
