Frequently Asked Questions
Can I retire at 60 in Australia?
Yes, you can generally retire at 60 in Australia and access your superannuation, provided you have permanently retired or left an employment arrangement after turning 60.
Because of this 7-year “Age Pension gap,” you must ensure you have sufficient personal super savings to fund your lifestyle until government benefits become available.
How does salary sacrifice impact my retirement savings?
Slary sacrificing allows you to contribute to your superannuation before-tax, which can significantly reduce your current taxable income while boosting your retirement nest egg. We help you calculate the optimal balance so you get the tax benefits today without affecting your day-to-day cash flow.
How much money ddi I need to retire comfortably?
Acording to the latest 2026 ASFA standards, a comfortable lifestyle typically requires a lump sum of $630,000 for a single person or $730,000 for a couple. However, every situation is different.
At Lincoln Wealth Advisers, we build a personalized strategy based on your specific lifestyle goals, not just a one-size-fits-all number.
How do I calculate my age pension eligibility?
Age Pension eligibility is determined by complex asset and income tests. We stay updated on the latest Centrelink thresholds to help you structure your finances in a way that maximizes your entitlements and keeps you within the eligibility limits.
what is a transition to retirement startegy?
A Transition-to-Retirement (TTR) strategy allows you to access your superannuation as a regular income while you are still working. It’s a powerful tool to reduce your working hours or boost your super balance through tax savings as you ease into full retirement.
How do I maximise my superannuation before I retire?
- Salary sacrifice — redirect pre-tax income into super at the concessional tax rate of 15%
- After-tax (non-concessional) contributions — contribute up to $120,000 per year, or $360,000 over three years using the bring-forward rule
- Spouse contributions — if your spouse earns less than $40,000, contributing to their super may qualify you for a tax offset of up to $540
- Downsizer contributions — aged 55+, sell your home, contribute up to $300,000 (or $600,000 for a couple) outside standard caps
- Catch-up contributions — if your total super balance is under $500,000, carry forward unused concessional cap amounts from the previous five years
