TURBOCHARGE YOUR SUPER IF YOU SELL YOUR HOME

More downsizers may be able to retire with more by using the sale of their home
to fund their retirement.







Back
 * Blog
 * Turbocharge your super if you sell your home


THE DOWNSIZER CONTRIBUTION SCHEME ALLOWS YOU TO RELEASE MONEY LOCKED UP IN YOUR
HOME TO BOOST YOUR SUPER BALANCE AND INCREASE YOUR INCOME IN RETIREMENT.
CURRENTLY IT IS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE AGED 65, BUT FROM 1 JULY 2022 IT IS
PROPOSED TO BE EXTENDED TO PEOPLE AGED 60.

 * Share on LinkedIn


HOW DOES IT WORK?

 

If you sell1 your primary home, you may be able to make a ‘downsizer
contribution’ to your superannuation of up to $300,000 from the sale. Up to 30
June 2022, you have to be 65 years or over to be eligible to make these
contributions, but from 1 July 2022, you can be 60 years or over, provided the
legislation is passed.

Your downsizer contribution is not a non-concessional (after-tax)
contribution and will not count towards your contributions caps.

If you have a partner you can both take advantage of this measure, which means
together, you could contribute up to $600,000 to super.

Although it’s known as a downsizer contribution, you don’t have to buy a smaller
house or even purchase another property at all.

 





*Assumptions:

 1. Based on a couple, making a ‘downsizer contribution’ at age 60 and retire at
    age 67 (assuming proposed changes to age eligibility is passed).
 2. The ‘downsizer contribution’ is assumed to be invested in the Aware Super
    MySuper Lifecycle option from age 60-67, with annual returns being CPI
    +3.75% at age 60, gradually reducing to CPI +3% between the ages 60-65
    (inclusive) and remaining at CPI + 3% for ages 65-66. CPI is assumed to be
    2.5% p.a.
 3. Starting from age 67 at retirement, the couple started an income stream
    which is invested in the Balanced Growth (pension) option with an assumed
    return of CPI + 3.5% p.a.
 4. Starting from age 67 at retirement, the couple draw down to nil for 29 years
    until age 96 with a constant income in real terms.
 5. Income is shown in today’s dollars adjusted by CPI inflation of 2.5% p.a.
    This example is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to
    provide a forecast or guarantee on outcome.




AM I ELIGIBLE TO MAKE A ‘DOWNSIZER CONTRIBUTION’?

 

 * From 1 July 2022, if the legislation is passed, you must be 60 years or older
   at the time you make a downsizer contribution. Currently, you can make a
   downsizer contribution from age 65.
 * You do NOT need to meet the work test.
 * You must not have previously made a downsizer contribution to your super from
   the sale of another home.
 * You or your spouse must own your home for 10 years or more prior to the sale.
 * You must have lived in the home as your main residence. 
 * Your home must be in Australia and it cannot be a caravan, houseboat or other
   mobile home.
 * For the full set of eligibility criteria, visit the ATO website

 


HOW DO I MAKE THE CONTRIBUTION?

 

 * If you decide to make a downsizer contribution, you need to complete a the
   ‘Downsizer contribution into super’ form either before or at the time of
   making your contribution. 
 * You need to make your downsizer contribution within 90 days of receiving your
   sale proceeds. 
 * Your downsizer contribution will count towards your total super balance and
   transfer balance cap (TBC). The general transfer balance cap is currently set
   at $1.7 million. The TBC might restrict future contributions and applies when
   you move your super savings into retirement phase.
 * Any downsizer contributions you make will be counted for the assets and
   income test applied by Centrelink so they could affect your eligibility for
   the age pension.
