Calculate how to reach your super balance goal

Most super calculators focus on modelling your final balance or the income it may generate for retirement based on your current personal situation, but AustralianSuper’s Super contributions calculator is different.

This tool can help you estimate the contributions you will need to make to super to build up to your desired balance, and the most effective way for you to make those contributions.

We’ve worked through some examples to give you a feel for how it works.

You can find the calculator here.
