“When can I retire?” is my wife’s favourite question at the moment! Wouldn’t it be nice?
Well it all comes down to money, honey.
Heres a handy tool we found to help you work it out for yourself
Notes on the calculations
This calculator easily answers the question "Given the value of my current investments and assuming future monthly investments of "X", at what age will I reach my retirement goal?"
The user enters their "Current Age", the "Monthly Amount Invested",the "Annual Interest Rate (ROI)" (annualized Return on Investment one expects to earn) and "Amount Desired At Retirement".
The calculator quickly calculates the user's retirement age and creates an investment schedule plus a set of charts that will help the user see the relationship between the amount invested and the return on the investment. The schedule can be copied and pasted to Excel, if desired.
If you need a more advanced "Retirement Calculator" - one that calculates many more unknowns and one that calculates assuming retirement income and not a final lump sum then try the calculator located here: https://AccurateCalculators.com/retirement-calculator
All calculators will remember your choice. You may also change it at any time.
Clicking "Save changes" will cause the calculator to reload. Your edits will be lost.

SMSF Mate is a unique website because it has ideas about how to approach SMSFs, insurance and other financial topics that come straight from first hand experience. It's much more useful than what you find on all the other financial websites that just offer generic info that you could easily get on the ATO's website. It's also nice to know there's no financial incentive behind the information, it's legitimately there to help people understand self-managed super funds and how to get the most out of them, not to get an affiliate commission from a broker or other financial services provider. The investment product information is also incredibly useful, I've never seen this kind of functionality on any other website that let's you look at such a wide range of products, sort by what info is most interesting or important to you, and subscribe to updates for different funds and financial products all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you own or are considering an SMSF!
SMSF Mate provides a unique insight into superannuation and financial topics in a way that is easier to understand than conventional websites. The colloquial nature of the site makes it easy to understand and they often speak about complicated topics in lamens terms so I can wrap my head around them. The investment product information is a great way to research funds that I am interested in investing in with my SMSF and there is a lot of helpful information on the site for better structuring my investment portfolio. In comparison to other websites which offer similar information, SMSF Mate excels as the information is free to access whereas many other sites charge a subscription fee for the same thing. Overall, I think SMSF Mate is a great resource for SMSF trustees and is worth looking at for a variety of super-related topics. Thanks.
