How much money you will need in retirement depends on the lifestyle you want to live. Everyone’s picture of their future is different. Your retirement dream might involve spending more time with family, travelling overseas, pursuing your hobbies and interests or furthering your education. Whatever your future looks like, the key to reaching your goals is starting now.

Recommended yearly budget

The ASFA Retirement Standard provides benchmarks for different standards of living that can help you develop your future budget.

If you’re looking to lead a “Comfortable Retirement” that involves a broad range of leisure and recreational activities, private health insurance, a reasonable car, good clothes, a range of electronic equipment, domestic and occasional overseas holidays, ASFA estimates an annual budget for homeowners of $51,814 for singles and $73,031 for couples (September quarter 2024).

You may need more than this to support the lifestyle you want to lead.
