The amount you need depends on the lifestyle you want in retirement, but as a rough guide:
If you own your home outright:
- A modest retirement may require around $400,000 – $500,000
- A comfortable retirement is often around $650,000 – $1,000,000
If you want to travel overseas, help the kids financially, or simply have more freedom and flexibility in retirement, you may need more. Everyone’s situation and needs are different.
The important thing is whether your current super and investments are on track to produce the income you’ll need. That’s something our financial advisers can help you work out, so you can understand where you stand and what your options are.
