Looking for a super fund that can help you plan your future
February 19, 2024
We know that someone’s financial future isn’t just determined by the size of their super balance. Investment choices, risk appetite and lifestyle decisions can all play a part.
TelstraSuper has a range of new self-service tools and calculators that can help people plan their futures. These complement the existing suite of webinars and seminars that are available to everyone – even if you’re not a TelstraSuper member.
Calculating your retirement under different scenarios
We all lead very different lives, which can ultimately impact our retirement lifestyle.
Our new Retirement Lifestyle Planner is an easy to use, interactive tool that allows people to estimate their income at retirement and explore how this might change under different scenarios.
It also allows people to consider how the following scenarios might impact the amount available/amount of income available at retirement:
- a career break or a move to part-time work,
- how investment changes might impact retirement outcomes
- the impact a lump sum withdrawal or making extra contributions could have
All the answers are at your fingertips.

This tool can be used by anyone, however TelstraSuper members can log-in to their account before using it to have many of the fields pre-populated, making it even easier to use.
Explore how different income sources can work in retirement
Many Australians have more than one income source in retirement.
Our Lifetime Income Calculator can illustrate how three sources of income in retirement - a Government Age Pension, an Account-Based Pension and a Lifetime Pension – can work to provide a steady income stream.
The Calculator allows you to explore receipt of a Government Age Pension in retirement based on the Income Test and Assets Test. You can alter the settings to explore different scenarios with various asset and income positions.
You can also estimate your retirement income requirements, from standard living costs to one-off expenses and lifestyle goals.
