MEET KAY AND DEAN

Kay and Dean,
both school teachers,
are starting to plan
for retirement.

They want to find out
how much they can
expect to retire with
and how long their
savings will last
in retirement.


Kay is 41 and works part time
two days a week, receiving an
annual salary of $25,000.
Dean is 45 and receives an
annual salary of $75,000.

Together they currently have
$50,000 in super savings.

The couple plan to retire
in 22 years when Dean is
67 and Kay 63.

They want to save enough
money to fund a comfortable

Kay used the
Australian Catholic
Superannuation
Retirement Calculator
to estimate their
projected savings
balance and income
in retirement.

From the Retirement
Calculator, Kay and Dean
can see that their projected
retirement balance is
$371,887.

This figure sits below the
lump sum needed to
fund a comfortable

If the couple draw income at a comfortable lifestyle level,
$58,128 per year supplemented by the Age Pension,
their savings will last till Kay reaches age 82.

Income supplemented by the Age Pension

Kay and Dean would prefer to self fund their retirement and
do not want to rely on the Age Pension as part of their
retirement income.

However, in this scenario their current projected savings would
only last until Kay reached age 71. This would mean they would
have no choice but to rely on the Age Pension once their savings
ran out.

No Age Pension supplement

Concerned about
their projected
savings, Kay and
Dean consider
several scenarios
for increasing their
retirement income.

CACULATING THE IMPACT OF ACTIONS ON SAVINGS
Kay and Dean use the Australian Catholic Superannuation
Retirement Calculator to project how the following scenarios
might affect their superannuation savings and resultant income
in retirement:

27
Scenario 1: Delaying Retirement. 1
Scenario 2: Pre-tax additional super contributions.
Scenario 3: Pre and after-tax additional super contributions.

1. DELAYING RETIREMENT
Using the calculator they
increase retirement age
to 70 for Dean and 66
for Kay.

The reduction in years
in retirement reduces
the projected lump
sum required.

Three extra years of work would see an improvement in Kay and
Deans situation.

While their savings still fall short of the comfortable lump sum,
their income would now fund a comfortable retirement lifestyle
until Kay reached age 76.

2. PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS
As an alternative to
delaying retirement,
Kay and Dean believe they
can afford to make pre-tax
additional contributions
of $3,500 per year. This would
be equivalent to approximately
$134 per fortnightly pay.

If the contributions come
out of Deans income he
will benefit from significant
tax savings.

Pre-tax contributions also offer an improvement on Kay and
Deans initial situation.

In this scenario, their $473,947 projected savings would run out
by the time Kay reached 75.

3. PRE AND AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS
The couple now want to
know how their position will
be impacted if they made
both pre and after-tax
superannuation contributions.

By making yearly contributions of
$3,500 pre-tax and $2,000 after
tax (both from Deans income),
they can expect to retire with a
balance of $523,520 to be
converted into retirement income.

$523,520

35

This scenario would again take Kay and Dean closer to their
dream of a self funded comfortable retirement lifestyle.

By making both pre and after-tax contributions to super they
will accumulate enough savings to fund a comfortable lifestyle
until Kay reaches age 76.
