Step 1 Planning for Retirement Planning for retirement 10

Have you ever thought Will I have enough money for retirement? I m concerned about financial markets I want to know my money is safe and secure What age pension am I entitled to? I feel like I could be doing better with my money It s all too complicated I don t know who to trust or where to start You are not alone Planning for retirement 11

Source: Department of Human Services. Excludes transitional arrangements for certain pensioners receiving part pensions as at 19 September 2009. Planning for retirement 12

How much is enough? Average household budgets per year in retirement^ (aged around 65): Modest Comfortable Single Couple Single Couple Total per year $23,797 $34,226 $43,184 $59,236 The above figures apply for those aged around 65. Different figures apply to those aged around 85 and are available on ASFA website. Modest retirement: Better than the Age Pension, but still only able to afford fairly basic activities Comfortable retirement: Regular leisure activities Private health insurance Reasonable car Good clothes Electronic equipment One annual holiday in Australia ^ Source: Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) Retirement Standard, December quarter 2015. Updated quarterly to reflect inflation. The figures in each case assume that the retiree(s) own their own home, aged around 65, are relatively healthy and relate to expenditure by the household. This can be greater than household income after income tax where there is a drawdown on capital over the period of retirement. Single calculations are based on female figures. Planning for retirement 13

Retirement savings needed Annual expenditures needed for a comfortable lifestyle as at December 2015 is $43,184 for a single and $59,236 for a couple^ Lump sum needed at retirement to support a comfortable lifestyle + (assumes receipt of part Age Pension) Couple $640,000 Single person $545,000 + Source: Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) Retirement Standard, December quarter 2015.
