Decoding Superannuation Preservation Age

Essential Understanding of the Preservation Age

Understanding when you can access your superannuation funds is crucial for effective financial planning. The preservation age plays a central role in this process. Claimsplus Lawyers provides a detailed guide to help you understand this critical aspect of superannuation.

Key Aspects of the Preservation Age:

• Defining Preservation Age: It's the minimum age set by law at which you can access your superannuation funds, given that you meet certain conditions of release, such as retiring.
• Age Based on Birth Year: The preservation age varies according to your date of birth. If you were born before July 1960, your preservation age is 55. For those born after June 1964, the age increases to 60. There's a gradual increment in the preservation age for those born in between these periods.

Navigating Your Preservation Age:

• Determining Your Age: Consult the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) guidelines for a detailed breakdown of the preservation age based on birth dates. This will help you ascertain your specific preservation age.
• Seeking Financial Advice: The implications of the preservation age on accessing your superannuation and retirement planning can be complex. Consulting with a financial advisor is recommended to gain a deeper understanding. Their expertise can provide valuable insights into how the preservation age affects your financial planning.
