will you have enough?

How much money will you need to live comfortably in retirement? Could you live comfortably on the single age pension of $13,652.60¹ pa or $11,401.00¹ pa for a couple?

For many Australians this figure simply isn’t enough.

Many Australians will be retiring with far less than they need to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

That’s why building up a nice fat super balance needs to become a bigger priority.

don’t wait: build your super now

By topping up your super you can reap the benefits of compounding (earnings on earnings). This could mean more money for you when you retire.

See how putting a little away can make a big difference in your final super balance with these top up examples, or use Health Super’s simple projections calculator to see how your situation stacks up – will you have enough?

Note that your contributions must be within the Government's prescribed contribution caps

 

topping up is easy

There are lots of things you can do to make a big difference: 

• rollover your other super accounts into Health Super
• track down your lost super, and roll it into Health Super
• tuck away a regular small amount like $20 a week, or large lump sums into your super account through personal (after-tax) contributions, or salary sacrifice (pre-tax contributions)
• recieve more than 1.5 times your personal contribution (up to a maximum of $1,500 pa) with the Government Co-Contribution
