Superannuation
Your superannuation is an extremely important investment because it is likely to be your main source of income in retirement. Also, it is the most tax-effective way to save for retirement so it pays to look after it. |

A basic retirement versus a great retirement
Would you like to enjoy your retirement without worrying about money? Of course you would but unfortunately most people have a huge shortfall in their retirement savings.
In 2015/16 the average Australian's superannuation balance at retirement was just $270,710 for men and $157,050 for women1 - not much considering a comfortable retirement can cost $44,011pa for a single person and $60,457pa for a couple2.
Your employer’s compulsory 9.5% superannuation guarantee contributions are unlikely to give you a comfortable retirement. But, if you start contributing more to your super now you can make more of your retirement later.

Super tax advantages
Superannuation is the most tax-effective way to save for your future. Your contributions are taxed at only 15% which is much lower than most peoples’ marginal tax rates.
