How Much Do You Need to Retire?
ASFA's Retirement Standard suggests singles need around $595,000 and couples around $690,000 in super at age 67 for a comfortable retirement (approximately $52,000/year for singles, $73,000/year for couples). A modest retirement requires less — around $100,000 for singles, supplemented by the Age Pension.
The 4% rule is another common benchmark: your retirement savings should be 25× your desired annual income. If you want $60,000/year, you need $1.5M. This calculator projects your super and savings growth to show when you'll hit your target. For detailed super projections, use our Super Calculator.
