It's important to track your super for a secure retirement.
Check your super balance against the average of your age group or estimate your balance at different stages of life to make sure you're on track for a comfortable retirement.
Your super balance will play a big part in how comfortably you live in retirement.
As shown in the table, Super Guru's Super Balance Detective Calculator can help you estimate if your super is on track, based on your retirement plans and how close you are to retirement.
The Association of Super Funds of Australia (ASFA) estimates that the required balance for a comfortable retirement by age 67 is $595,000 for a single person and $690,000 for a couple. This includes owning your home, leisure and recreational activities, private health insurance, and occasional overseas holidays.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has worked out the average super balance for each age group, which you can use as a guide to see how your balance compares.
This table shows the average super balances for both Australian men and women by age. It's worth noting that women tend to have lower average superannuation balances than men for a combination of reasons.
If your retirement savings need a boost, small changes you make now can make a difference to your future.
