How much will you need to retire?

The Retirement Income Simulator:

• Illustrates the effect of variable factors such as superannuation contributions, investment returns and retirement income have on how much super you may have when you retire and how long it may last.
• Uses default assumptions about future investment returns and inflation, which are considered reasonable at the current date based on long-term economic modelling (by Mercer Investment Consulting). You can modify these assumptions.
• Gives the results in today's dollar value which have been calculated by deflating the projected dollar amounts based on the assumed rate of wage inflation up to retirement age, and price inflation after retirement as described on the Assumptions panel.

The Simulator cannot take into account:

• Changes in your personal circumstances;
• Actual future investment returns;
• Inflation; or
• Future changes to the Age Pension and tax regulations.

The projections shown in this Simulator are intended as a guide only, based on the information you put in, and should not be used in isolation to make financial decisions. This Simulator does not take into account your personal objectives or your own financial situation and it cannot determine your actual final super benefit or income. Before making any decisions about your super or any other financial product, you should consider seeking advice from a licensed financial adviser and read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) available at mercersuper.com.au. The product Target Market Determination can be found at mercersuper.com.au/tmd.
