Retirement Planning and Guidance

Enjoy the retirement you want

It is never too early to start planning for your retirement

The earlier you take action on your retirement planning, the higher the likelihood of enjoying the retirement you want.

Putting in the correct plan, no matter your age, can make an enormous difference to the quality of your life throughout retirement. Your “future-self” will thank you for the changes you make today.

We can assist you with a tailored and flexible advice solution on:

Transition to retirement strategies
Downsizer Contributions
Tax and contribution strategies
Cash flow and debt management
Account based pension advice
Pension income requirements

So how much will you need for retirement and how long will it last?

These are questions that we can answer for you. By understanding your situation and needs we can model your current trajectory so you know how your financial future looks.

The actual amount you need depends on your lifestyle aspirations, length of your retirement and investment returns. For example, to provide an income of $70,000 a year, you'll potentially need to accumulate a retirement lump sum of around $690,000 for a period of 25 years. Assuming a return of 7.5% per annum after fees and inflation of 2.5% (note: age pension entitlements may be included).

Is this enough?

$46,620 per annum for couples*
$32,417 per annum for singles*

For a comfortable retirement, it is suggested the average 65 y.o Australian needs at least:

$71,723 per annum for couples*
