Sunsuper has launched a new online superannuation calculator which boasts a raft of industry leading new features designed to help investors prepare for a financially worry-free retirement - all for free and with just a few clicks of a mouse.

“In many ways, Sunsuper’s new On track - Getting serious modeller replicates the experience of seeing a financial planner – and all at no cost to the investor,” Sunsuper Head of Financial Planning, Steve Travis said.

“It’s much more than just your standard retirement calculator. “It has been designed to give investors an extensive picture of their financial fitness for retirement and is much more interactive than anything currently on the Australian market. It boasts a number of sophisticated, industry-leading features for investors, including an ability to include your partner’s super in the calculations, and work out any age pension entitlements.

“What’s more, the modeller leads investors to focus on the income they need to support their retirement, rather than just aiming to grow a lump sum.”

The system then generates a report based on the factors modelled which includes total projected income and super balance graphics, as well as information on how investors can grow their super to enhance their retirement lifestyle.

“It is the latest addition to the suite of financial planning tools offered by Sunsuper to help investors get a picture of their retirement readiness, without necessarily having to pay the steep fees and commissions associated with seeing some planners,” Mr Travis said.

“Of course, some investors want more help from a planner and Sunsuper can accommodate that too – at no cost in many cases.

“However, for many investors, an online tool that’s free, interactive, easy-to-use and gives a good view of retirement preparedness, along with relevant tips on how to boost their super balance, is just what they need to confidently get on track.”
