Planning for retirement can feel boring and very far away, but superannuation plays a huge role in your future. According to the Australian Taxation Office, super is the money that supports you when you stop working — and learning about it early is a smart financial decision.
You don't need to understand finance or complicated money terms. Just enter some basic details about yourself, and the calculator does all the calculations for you.
What Is Superannuation?
Superannuation (or "super") is money your employer pays into a super fund for you while you work. This money is saved and invested over time, so it can support you financially when you retire.
How Superannuation Works in Australia
In Australia:
- Employers must contribute 12% of your wages into your super fund
- Your super is invested, which helps it grow over many years
- You usually access your super when you reach retirement age
- Super is designed to grow slowly through compounding. That's why starting early and understanding how it works can make a big difference to your future.
