Now, in the years leading up to your retirement, it’s time to really start thinking about that next phase of your life. And then, once you know what you want your retirement lifestyle to look like, you need to know how you are going to fund it, and how to access your money so it goes the distance. There are many ways to live your retirement years – studying, volunteering, travelling. Maybe even working part-time. But you certainly don’t want to spend your retirement worrying about money. That’s where a little planning comes in. And the sooner you start planning for retirement, the better off you’ll be when you get there. This book is a guide to help you get a picture of your retirement, and then show you how to get there, including steps to reach your nest egg goal.

Suncorp Bank Insurance Suncorp_Bank 36 slides•744 views You can’t always protect yourself and your loved ones from life’s uncertainties. Although we don’t like to think about it, we know that traumatic and tragic events may not always only happen to other people. It is important to protect your home and car. And most people do. But it is also important to protect your life, your ability to earn an income, your health and your business interests. Protecting loved ones from financial hardship should be an integral part of any financial plan. This guide explains why life insurance is so important for you and your family. It provides an overview of the different types of life insurance strategies available and case studies showing how they could protect you and your loved ones. With the help of a Suncorp Financial Planner or Suncorp Authorised Representative, you can then develop a comprehensive risk management plan and decide how much is enough to keep you and your family’s lifestyle, dreams and future financially secure. The Aviva Real Retirement Report - Spring 2014 by Aviva plc, has 20 slides with 714 views. The Aviva Real Retirement Report - Spring 2014 Aviva plc 20 slides•714 views Aviva's Spring 2014 Real Retirement Report explores over-55s' views on retirement and what role their family plays in their plans. Findings from the consumer research shows that for over-55s retirement is a period of pursuing personal interests, hobbies and travel. However, family is important, and they particularly want to spend more time with family members. But many over-55s are over-looking their spouse and their family when they come to plan their retirement finances, and consider their finances a personal matter. This reluctance to involve the family also affects the number of people preparing a will. Aviva Real Retirement Report Autumn 2014 by Aviva plc, has 20 slides with 870 views. Aviva Real Retirement Report Autumn 2014 Aviva plc 20 slides•870 views The document summarizes findings from the Aviva Real Retirement Report about finances and attitudes of over-55s in the UK. It finds that while incomes are rising, many over-55s remain concerned about having enough money in retirement. It also examines attitudes towards the new pension freedoms announced in the 2014 UK Budget, finding that while awareness is high, over half say the changes don't affect them and most will continue with traditional retirement solutions rather than accessing savings early. Spending is rising across many categories as consumer confidence increases with the improving economy. Social Security Claiming Guide by Christian Phillips, has 28 slides with 541 views.

Social security ph 5 26-15 by geann123, has 54 slides with 412 views. Social security ph 5 26-15 geann123 54 slides•412 views This document provides information about when to start claiming Social Security retirement benefits. It discusses that 35 years of earnings is the magic number used to calculate benefits, and that working longer can increase your monthly payment. Taking benefits as early as age 62 is possible but will result in reduced monthly payments. Waiting until full retirement age or age 70 can significantly increase your lifetime benefits. Factors like taxes, earnings limits, and spousal benefits must also be considered when deciding when to start receiving Social Security. Navigating Your Financial Future by grant_ackerman, has 28 slides with 289 views. Navigating Your Financial Future grant_ackerman 28 slides•289 views The document provides an overview of key retirement planning considerations including longevity and health, spending and inflation, investment returns, and health costs. It notes that Canadians are living longer, retiring earlier, and may need to fund 20 years of retirement from 40 years of work. Key pieces of advice include diversifying investments, planning for higher costs due to inflation, and considering health and long-term care needs as these unknowns can significantly impact retirement. Developing a customized retirement plan is recommended to help navigate future uncertainties. Policy Debate: Longevity, health and public policy.

ILC- UK 72 slides•4.5K views Launch of ILC-UK Factpack, Ageing, longevity and demographic change, Supported by Legal & General his important briefing event, for journalists and senior policy-makers and opinion formers, set out the latest evidence on longevity and explore the extent to which government and business (financial services industry) is responding to the challenges. We will consider the extent to which longevity is influencing government and business decisions and how media and policy-makers can help to ensure that important longevity issues are taken into account. For example, the Government has set out plans to increase the state pension age to 66 years from 2018, and 67 years from 2026. They have also announced plans to automatically link state pension age with increased longevity. Whilst the driver of change has partly been the need for Government to cut spending and make fiscal savings, there is also a recognition that people will be spending an increasing proportion of their lives in retirement. Although we may be living longer on average, many are likely to be doing so in poor health. In parts of the country life expectancy is much lower than the UK average. In addition, on 26th June the Government will announce its latest spending review. The impact of future spending demands of an ageing society will undoubtedly influence this review so the event will consider the extent to which Government’s current spending priorities have adequately taken into account long term demographic change and how the private sector can contribute. The event took place just after the launch of the latest Office of Budget Responsibility fiscal sustainability report which set out the long term impact of ageing on fiscal sustainability. In its 2012 report, the OBR said; “The public finances are likely to come under pressure over the longer term, primarily as a result of an ageing population.” ILC-UK launched a new factpack, Ageing, longevity and demographic change, which has been produced with the support of Legal & General. The factpack will help those with an interest in population ageing and longevity to quickly access key, relevant statistics.

Family Finances report - Dec 2014 Aviva plc 28 slides•680 views Aviva's biannual UK Family Finances report (December 2014) reveals that: > UK parents of 0-5s juggle earnings with childcare expenses > 1 in 10 families using childcare for 0-5s say lower earner takes home nothing after childcare / work costs are paid > Lower earner typically brings home just £243 after childcare / work costs are paid > One in three families using childcare for 0-5s turn to grandparents > Working parents are being hamstrung by childcare costs, with thousands effectively working for nothing, Aviva can reveal. The company’s Winter 2014 Family Finances Report also reveals that one in 10 families paying childcare costs for youngsters aged 0-5, effectively see one earner bring home nothing from his or her job after childcare and work costs are taken into account. Similarly one in four families in this position has one parent who brings home less than £100 a month after costs. Find out more in the full report.

According to Social Security Administration (SSA) statistics, Social Security benefits account for about 36 percent of retirement income for the average American.1 One of the biggest mistakes today’s retirees can make is to underestimate the importance of Social Security in their retirement strategies. In an era of vanishing pensions and volatile markets, Social Security offers government guaranteed income that isn’t vulnerable to market risk, can’t be outlived, and can provide for your loved ones after your death.

ILC- UK 25 slides•5.8K views This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Ros Altmann on the need for businesses to embrace older workers. Some key points: 1) People are living longer, healthier lives but the traditional retirement age is outdated, leaving a skills gap as the population ages. Employers need to retain experienced older workers. 2) Combining more work with more savings offers a solution to funding longer retirements. Retirement should be seen as a process rather than an event. 3) Many workers want to work past retirement age to boost their income in retirement. Only 20% feel they are saving enough. 4) Dr. Altmann will work with businesses to promote retaining and hiring older workers, Overcoming Inequalities: Addressing barriers to extending working lives by ILC- UK, has 248 slides with 2982 views. Overcoming Inequalities: Addressing barriers to extending working lives ILC- UK 248 slides•3K views Socio-economic inequalities continue to present challenges to the Government’s Fuller Working Lives programme, and research conducted by the ILC-UK in 2015 found that although 1.1 million people are currently working beyond state pension age, 1 million people aged 50-64 have been forced out of work through a combination of redundancy, ill health or early retirement. This one day conference, hosted by the ILC-UK and research teams from renEWL and the Uncertain Futures consortium allowed policy makers, business leaders, civil society organisations and academics to engage with new research findings on the socio-economic inequalities preventing some sections of the population from achieving longer, fuller working lives.

One year ago, the House of Lords Committee on Public Services and Demographic Change produced a hard-hitting report which argued that the Government and society was “woefully underprepared” for a rapidly ageing population. On the first anniversary of the ‘Ready for Ageing?’ report, we are in the unenviable position that sees the United Kingdom ranked unlucky number 13 in a global index of the best countries in the world to grow old in. The principal recommendations in the ‘Ready for Ageing?’ report have not yet been properly addressed or acted on. In his October 2013 speech on ‘The Forgotten Million’, Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt MP, set down a challenge that the UK should in fact aspire to be best country to grow old in, but the question remains: why are our public services so poorly prepared for major demographic change, and what as a society can we do to ensure future generations of older people thrive in later life? Lord Filkin, Chair of the Committee on Public Services and Demographic Change, hosted a House of Lords breakfast debate looking forward to 2030, a date by which there will be 50% more people aged 65 and over in England and a doubling in the numbers of people aged 85 and over. As a society, we need to prepare for the next 15 years right now and certainly in the next Parliament. At this event, Independent Age and ILC-UK, supported by members of the Ready for Ageing Alliance, launched 2030 Vision: Making the UK the best country to grow old in, which will look to the long term and consider what politicians and policy makers need to now, both in preparation for next year’s General Election, and between 2015 and 2020, to prepare for the long term opportunities and challenges ahead. During the debate, we invited contributions on the economic and societal implications of population ageing and the major policy decisions all the main parties face to ready the UK and its public services for dramatic population ageing. It’s clear that our political, social and cultural approach towards old age today is already hopelessly out of date, so this event will provide Parliamentarians and stakeholders from across civil society with an opportunity to mark the first anniversary of the House of Lords’ Committee report on demographic change and look ahead, so as a society we can seize the opportunities presented by an ageing population. 2 Biggest Retirement Misconceptions by DWilkins, has 2 slides with 175 views. 2 Biggest Retirement Misconceptions DWilkins 2 slides•175 views There are two common misconceptions about retirement planning that could harm retirees financially. The first is assuming retirement will only last 10-15 years, when increased lifespans mean it may last 20-30 years or longer. The second is being too conservative in investments and not accounting for inflation, which can erode purchasing power over a long retirement. Proper planning is needed to avoid running out of money in retirement given its potential longer duration. Preparing for the New Retirement by PICPA, has 1 slides with 150 views. Preparing for the New Retirement PICPA 1 slide•150 views Americans are living longer today than in the past, so retirement planning needs to account for potentially longer lifespans. It is important to start saving for retirement early, with the recommendation being to save 10% of earnings starting in your 20s and 30s to accumulate enough funds. Proper retirement planning requires estimating expenses, developing a budget, and saving sufficiently to fund 20 or 30 years of retirement without relying on chance.

Thinking about retirement A guide to help you plan and fund your retirement lifestyle * 3. 1Suncorp WealthSmart™ – Thinking about retirement By now, you’ve done most of the hard work: holding down a career and acquiring assets to boost your financial situation along the way. Now, in the years leading up to your retirement, it’s time to really start thinking about that next phase of your life. And then, once you know what you want your retirement lifestyle to look like, you need to know how you are going to fund it, and how to access your money so it goes the distance. How to plan and fund your retirement There are many ways to live your retirement years – studying, volunteering, travelling. Maybe even working part-time. But you certainly don’t want to spend your retirement worrying about money. That’s where a little planning comes in. And the sooner you start planning for retirement, the better off you’ll be when you get there. This book is a guide to help you get a picture of your retirement, and then show you how to get there, including steps to reach your nest egg goal. The second part of this guide focuses on strategies to help you access your super once you’ve reached your retirement age, and make it last as long as you’ll need it. Remember - you don’t have to do it alone. Your financial planner can help you implement strategies suitable for your individual needs. * 4. 2 Suncorp The changing face of retirement A longer, more fulfilling retirement People no longer seem to spend a brief retirement of five or ten years in frailty and ill health. Instead, more people are enjoying a long, healthy, active retirement. As a result, retirement is no longer just for ‘seniors’. Rather, it is two- phased: the early (active) years, followed by the later (more restful) years. Our general expectation of our retirement lifestyle has also changed. Many retirees now look to work and travel in retirement and maintain an active lifestyle. Whatever your retirement ends up looking like, no doubt it will be very different from your parents’ retirement. And different again from the type of retirement your grandparents had. That also means it is likely to be more expensive. But, a little planning – and budgeting – goes a long way. So start thinking about your retirement, today. 1 Association of Superannuation Funds Australia, Clare R ‘A less than super future’ 2005 Take a closer look at your super Over the years your super balance has been accumulating – a result of your employer’s contributions to your fund (super guarantee), your personal additional contributions, and your investment choice. But is it enough to fund your retirement lifestyle – and will it go the distance? Compulsory superannuation was introduced in Australia in 1993, so for many people they’ve only been funding their retirement for less than 20 years. In the years leading up to retirement, when most of your debts are paid off, and you’re still working, it’s a good opportunity to make the most of your super in preparation for retirement. In 1975 we retired at 64* and had a life expectancy of 72.9# Today we retire at 58* but have a life expectancy of 80.9# 1975 Working life Retirement 2005 Working life Retirement Today we are retiring earlier and living longer. * Asteron/UNSW Effects of Longevity Improvements on Retirement Funding, 2006. # Calculations based on Australian Historial Population Statistics Cat 3105.0.65.001 and 'Life Expectency', Deaths Australia Cat 3302 2005. Of the retiring baby boomers: 40% will spend 25 years in retirement; 40% will spend 35 years; and 10% will spend 35+ years in retirement.1 * 5. 3Suncorp WealthSmart™ – Thinking about retirement A snapshot of retirement today2 • As well as helping to fund their retirement lifestyle, many people like to stay connected to the workforce. 46% of retirees want to work part-time in retirement. • 73% of retirees want to travel overseas and 40% want to travel Australia in their early retirement years. Too many Australians don’t plan appropriately for the years they will spend in retirement, thinking that their compulsory super contributions will be enough to fund their lifestyle of choice. And if not, there’s always the Age Pension. The truth is, however, that many Australians retire without having saved enough to enjoy the kind of lifestyle they imagined. And the Age Pension at $18,229 per annum for a single person and $27,482 for a couple3 doesn’t go far. 2 Asteron/Stellar research, June 2006 3 Centrelink rates from 1 July 2010 4 Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, Westpac-ASFA Retirement Standard, March Quarter 2010 www.superannuation.asn.au The cost of retirement today The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia estimates the cost of a ‘comfortable’ retirement at $39,159 per annum for singles and $53,565 per annum for couples.4 But this is still not a carefree lifestyle – budgeting is still required! * 6. 4 Suncorp The age of longevity If 50 is the new 40, then 95 is the new 85!

Whether you are an early retiree who is active and healthy or in the later stages of retirement, needing support and care, retirement costs money. It is important to plan for all stages of retirement to help you retain your financial independence for life – however long that may be. The first big question you need to answer is: how much is enough? Understanding how much money you’ll need to fund your retirement lifestyle can be tricky. A rule of thumb is to take 65% of your pre-retirement income. This is because by the time you retire you won’t have a lot of the big expenses you used to – like paying off your mortgage, kids’ school fees and other costs involved in raising a family. But it’s also important to remember that while some things will cost less in retirement, you will have some other increased – and new – expenses, such as aged care. Step 1 – How much is enough? The best way to understand how much you’ll need in retirement is to have a think about your retirement lifestyle, and the costs associated with it. The following budget breakdown is a good way to get a rough idea of the cost of a ‘comfortable’ retirement.7 This budget breakdown is for a comfortable – but not financially-carefree – retirement lifestyle. And it assumes you’ve paid off your major expense, the family home.

And wondering where it’s going to come from. Once you have an estimate of what your retirement lifestyle will cost, you can start thinking about how much you need to accumulate before you retire to achieve this lifestyle. Your nest egg goal is calculated based on your retirement lifestyle budget and the number of years you anticipate you will spend in retirement. How much will I need?* Single person Years in Retirement Annual retirement income 20 years 25 years 30 years 35 years $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 $35,000 $40,000 $30,000 $155,000 $175,000 $200,000 $230,000 $40,000 $300,000 $375,000 $445,000 $525,000 $50,000 $480,000 $590,000 $700,000 $795,000 When you’re working out your nest egg goal don’t forget to add in any major one-off capital expenses such as extra money for aged care, a house renovation or a new car. And if you think you’ll still have debt (like your mortgage) in retirement, factor those payments in too. *Amounts rounded to nearest $5,000.

Investing in your retirement Your nest egg goal is the amount you are aiming for to meet your retirement lifestyle expectations. You don’t have to save exactly this amount. The beauty of the super environment is that your money is invested and should grow over time. The earnings can help you to reach your goal. * 10. 8 Suncorp What about the Age Pension? In Australia, we have a ‘three-pillars’ approach to helping people create financial independence in retirement.9 1. Compulsory employer super contributions (super guarantee) 2. Additional savings and contributions you make to top up your super 3. A government ‘safety net’ – the Age Pension system (which is means tested) The Age Pension is a government-funded income paid to eligible retirees. It’s a safety net for retirees to fall back on, and it can be used to top up your retirement income. But the Age Pension only pays you up to $18,229 per annum for singles and $27,482 per annum for a couple10 , which is approximately 28% of the Average Weekly Ordinary Time Earnings in Australia11 and approximates the poverty line.12 Relying solely on the Age Pension could impact your lifestyle. The government assesses your eligibility for the Age Pension by calculating your other income and assets. Currently those single individuals with income up to $146 per fortnight and homeowners with assets (excluding their home) up to $181,750 ($313,250 non-homeowners) are eligible for the full Age Pension. Couples with combined income up to $256 per fortnight and combined assets up to $255,000 (homeowners) and $389,500 (non- homeowners) are eligible for the full Age Pension.11 Put a financial plan in place now, to minimise your future reliance on the Age Pension and to give you peace of mind about your financial security in retirement. Step 3 – Sprint to super Relying on your compulsory employer super contributions and social security alone is probably not enough to get you to your retirement goal. But there are strategies that you and your financial planner can implement to make the most of your super while you’re still working. And then, you can structure your income in retirement to give you the lifestyle you want. Investing in your super is one of the most tax-effective ways to save for your retirement. And there are also some great incentives to encourage you to invest in super and help your money grow exponentially in time for retirement. Sprint to super in the years leading up to retirement with the following strategies. After-tax contributions After-tax contributions – sometimes called personal contributions, or non-concessional contributions – are deposits into your super fund by you from your take-home (post-tax) salary. Because the government has already taken tax out, these contributions are not taxed when you deposit them into your super fund, and they are not taxed when withdrawn after you reach retirement. There is a maximum after-tax contribution limit of $150,000 per financial year. People under age 65 can make three years contributions in one year, which means you can contribute up to $450,000 – but then can’t contribute for the remaining two years. If you are aged 65 to 74 you need to meet a work test to be eligible to contribute, which means you must work at least 40 hours in 30 consecutive days in that financial year. Salary sacrifice Salary sacrificing a portion of your pre-tax salary into your super fund is one of the most tax-efficient ways to boost your super account and reduce your income tax. Rather than paying income tax of up to 46.5% (including Medicare levy), you will only pay super contributions tax of 15% on whatever you contribute into your super fund. This tax is deducted within the fund. This means for someone who is on the highest marginal tax rate of 46.5% it’s the difference between investing 53.5 cents in every dollar and investing 85 cents in every dollar. 9 ‘Averting the old age crisis’ – a World Bank Policy Research Report; www.treasury.gov.au 10 Centrelink rates from 1 July 2010 11 ABS, Average Weekly Earnings Australia May 2010 Cat 6302 12 Melbourne institute of Applied Economics and Social Research, Poverty Lines: Australia, September Quarter 2008 * 11. 9Suncorp WealthSmart™ – Thinking about retirement Government co-contributions Employees on lower incomes can use government co-contributions to increase their super. If you earn less than $31,920 pa and you make a $1,000 after-tax contribution, the Australian Government will contribute $1,000 to your retirement savings. If you earn between $31,920 and $61,920 per annum you can receive a proportion of the $1,000 government contribution, paid on a sliding scale depending on how much you contribute and how much you earn. The after-tax contributions you make, and the co-contributions you receive are not taxed when they are deposited into your super fund, though earnings are taxed at 15% within the fund. After-tax contributions and co-contributions will also be received tax-free when paid out in retirement. Self-employed people are also eligible for the co-contribution. * 12. 10 Suncorp Retirement income streams Converting your super to an income stream is known as ‘rolling it over’, because you don’t touch it, and it remains in the tax-effective superannuation environment. An income stream, such as an allocated pension, provides regular income to meet your retirement needs. Similar to a salary payment, an amount is paid into your bank account regularly (usually monthly or quarterly). Because your nest egg is still in the super environment, this means it will continue working for you, just as it did when you were still accumulating super, and the earnings are now tax-free. But it also means it will continue to fluctuate with the market, depending on the investment options you have chosen. From the age of 60, income streams will be received tax- free, and you may also get some Centrelink advantages from keeping your money in the super environment. Lump sum Drawing down a lump sum is tax-free for people at least age 60, but remember once you take your money out of the tax-effective super environment you’ll have to manage your savings yourself – with some help from your financial planner of course. You’ve also got some decisions to make, which can affect how you access your super, and when. • Are you ready to completely retire from the workforce? • Do you want to work part-time and transition to retirement? • Do you want to take part of your super as a lump sum? • Can you maximise Centrelink or Department of Veterans’ Affairs benefits? The fundamentals of retirement – income stream, lump sum or both? In the current super environment, you have a couple of options available to you once you reach your ‘preservation age’ – that is the age at which you can access your preserved funds, depending on when you were born. You can also access your super upon reaching age 65. From age 55 you can access your super as an income stream, and then from age 65 you can withdraw all or part of your super as a lump sum and/or convert it to an income stream. Accessing your super As you approach your retirement age, it is time to decide how to turn your super into income – bearing in mind that your superannuation needs to support the lifestyle that you want for as long as you require it. * 13. 11Suncorp WealthSmart™ – Thinking about retirement … and Centrelink Many people are eligible to receive Centrelink or Department of Veterans’ Affairs payments such as the Age Pension to supplement or top up their private income. To receive the Age Pension, your income and assets are subject to means testing, but you may be able to structure your retirement savings to increase your eligibility for the Age Pension through retirement income streams. Retirement income stream products can provide favourable treatment under the Centrelink income test. It is important to seek advice from your financial planner when considering Centrelink benefits, so they can help you structure your income and assets correctly. Maximise your super …. ... by moving assets into super You may have accumulated assets and investments outside super, in which case you can consider cashing them in to make a contribution to super before you reach age 65 or retire (subject to contribution limits). If you are considering moving assets into super, seek advice from your financial planner to ensure you are eligible and consider all of the tax implications. This applies particularly if you are planning on selling a business – there are different rules for money resulting from the sale of a business. * 14. 12 Suncorp If you’re nearing retirement and need to boost your super – or aren’t ready to retire completely – transitioning to retirement may help you achieve your goals. And it’s a strategy you can implement even if you’re still working fulltime. Transition to retirement Transition to retirement (TTR) is only available if you are aged 55 or over, and is particularly beneficial for those aged 60 or over, because then you receive your pension tax-free. TTR works by taking advantage of the different tax rates inside and outside super. The strategy has two benefits: 1. It allows you to ‘test the water’ before retiring completely – perhaps by reducing from full-time to part-time work, but without reducing your income. 2. If you are happy to keep working full-time, it enables you to give your superannuation balance a boost. How does it work? For people who want to reduce to part-time work, TTR involves starting an allocated pension to top up your income so that your take-home pay remains unchanged. For those seeking to boost their super balances, it involves salary sacrificing some of your income, and restoring your take home pay to its previous level by drawing income from an allocated pension. When you commence a pension, investment earnings on your nest egg are no longer taxed at up to 15%. Pension payments also have some tax advantages over salary. So this strategy can provide tax savings – which, combined with tax-free earnings, can boost your superannuation account balance and provide a better retirement nest egg for you. Step 1 Your salary is split into two parts: • Some is salary sacrificed straight into super • The rest is paid as cash salary to you. Step 2 The money that is currently in your superannuation fund is rolled over to start an allocated pension. The pension payments are used to top up your income. You can choose how much income to receive each year. Between age 55 and 65 the minimum pension you will normally have to take is 4% of your account balance and the maximum is 10%. However, for the 2010/11 financial year, the mimimum pension is only 2% of your account balance. Sacrifice a portion (limits apply) Pension income (limits 10% account balance) Cash net salary Salary Superannuation Allocated Pension (non-commutable) How does TTR work? * 15. 13Suncorp WealthSmart™ – Thinking about retirement 13 Net income in the first year – based on 2010/2011 tax rates. * This general information is an example only and should not be relied on as advice for that particular person. Each person should consider their own circumstances and seek appropriate advice. ** Non-commutable means you cannot withdraw lump sum amounts from your pension until you retire or reach age 65. Case study – Peter* Peter is aged 55 and earns $60,000 pa. His net income after tax is $48,000.13 He is not contributing to super but his employer pays the compulsory 9% superannuation guarantee. This has 15% tax deducted in the fund so his net super contribution is $4,590. If his super fund earns 7% per annum, at the end of the year Peter’s balance has grown to $322,440. Peter decides to use a transition to retirement strategy to boost his super: Step 1 He arranges for his employer to salary sacrifice $23,000 into his super fund, and receives $37,000 cash salary (less tax). His employer still pays 9% super on his full $60,000 package. Step 2 Peter rolls his $300,000 superannuation balance to a non-commutable allocated pension.** He can choose an income between $6,000 (2%) and $30,000 (10%) so he decides to take $18,220 to supplement his cash salary. This gives him a net income of $48,000 – the same as he had before implementing the strategy. The table below demonstrates the year one net value to Peter’s super balance when using the transition to retirement strategy. Without Transition to Retirement With Transition to Retirement Initial super balance $300,000 $300,000 Super contributions (gross) $5,400 $28,400 Contributions tax $810 $4,260 Growth in fund $21,000 $21,000 Tax on growth $3,150 $0 Pension income $0 $18,220 Peter’s super balance after one year $322,440 $326,920 So the net result for Peter is that he has boosted his super balance by $4,480 at the end of one year without reducing his take home pay. And if Peter was age 60, the tax savings would be even greater and his super balance would be boosted even more. * 16. 14 Suncorp Ready to shift into ‘full-time’ retirement? Allocated (or account–based) pensions are currently the most common type of retirement income stream. They provide retirees with a flexible income. An allocated pension can only be purchased with superannuation money. You can specify the amount of income you wish to receive each year (above government minimums). You can also withdraw money from the allocated pension at any time. Allocated pensions allow you to nominate how your money is invested while you are drawing down your income from it, and the account balance fluctuates according to the performance of the underlying investments you choose. But remember, since the performance of an allocated pension is not guaranteed, you can’t be certain that the pension will last throughout retirement. Upon death, any remaining account balance is payable to your beneficiaries. While the allocated pension is treated favourably for the Age Pension income test, the full account balance is included in the assets test. Allocated pensions Don’t forget to factor in longevity Your financial planner can help you structure your retirement savings so that it lasts as long as you do! Drawing down on your allocated pension too heavily could see your super run out. * 17. 15Suncorp WealthSmart™ – Thinking about retirement Assumptions: Taxation and Centrelink rates and thresholds effective 1 July 2010 Projections assume expenses are inflated at 3% (CPI), income at 4.5% (AWOTE) and Tax items at 1.00% The gross investment return for the Balanced profile is 7.24% made up of Income 4.15% and Growth 3.09% This example is intended for illustrative purposes only and is not an estimate, forecast, guarantee of performance or payment indicator.

Rob has $500,000 in super, while Anne is a homemaker, and doesn’t have a superannuation balance. They have calculated that they need an income of $55,000 per year (after tax) for a comfortable lifestyle. To maximise their retirement savings their planner suggests rolling all of Rob’s super into an allocated pension with a balanced risk profile – half is invested in shares, and half in cash/fixed interest. Rob and Anne can receive the $55,000 per annum income they need through a combination of allocated pension and Age Pension, until their money runs out at age 92. After this time, Rob and Anne will only have access to the full Age Pension of $27,482 per annum. If only one of them is still alive, the Age Pension is $18,229 per annum.14 The graph below shows Rob and Anne’s level of income each year and their assets reducing, until they run out at age 92. * 18. 16 Suncorp What next? Protect your wealth Protecting your wealth is just as important as growing it. Speak to your financial planner about putting appropriate insurance strategies in place to protect your future plans. Make sure your super fund has your tax file number It is important to make sure that your super fund has a record of your tax file number. If it doesn’t, you may incur tax penalties, and if you are still contributing to super your fund may not be able to accept your contributions. Wills and estate planning The last thing any of us want to do is leave our family to have to deal with any confusion about our intentions for our estate. Your financial planner can tell you how to keep your super fund up to date with your beneficiary nominations, and can also refer you to a specialist who can organise your will and manage estate planning issues.
