People are often surprised to know how much they will need in retirement.

Ensuring that your super is as healthy as possible will mean you have more choices in retirement. For many people, super will be the main source of their retirement income.

To encourage people to save for retirement, the Commonwealth Government provides tax concessions and other government benefits to make super one of the best ways to invest for the long term. Generally, contributions to super from pre-tax income are taxed at 15% and investment earnings at 15%. That’s a big difference compared to marginal tax rates, which could be as high as 45%.

Over your lifetime, superannuation may become your strongest asset, worth even more than the family home. Are you comfortable with the way your super is invested? Have you considered ways to boost your super? By understanding super and the available incentives to help you maximise your super, you can take control and get your super working harder for you.
